Her political career ended in 1992 over a falsified résumé scandal.
In the 1960s, Guerrero and her siblings were migrant workers.[3] She attended the University of Texas at Austin, where she was president of the Young Democrats of Texas.[4] [3] She was elected to the Texas House, and appointed to a vacant seat on the Texas Railroad Commission, but when she ran for reelection to the seat it was discovered that she had falsely claimed to have graduated from UT.[4] [5]
