In the 1994-95 season the team played in the First Division, however, in the middle of the season the club was moved to Querétaro City and renamed Gallos Blancos TM, due to problems between the team owner and the oil workers' union, the stadium owners.[4]
After 1995, the team came and went on several occasions, playing mainly in the Primera División 'A'. Between 1995 and 1998 the team was a reserves team of Club Puebla. In 2001, Águilas de Tamaulipas was promoted from the Second Division and took the name of Tampico Madero, however, the team only played one year until it was moved to La Piedad due to lack of support from local businessmen.

In 2018 Grupo Tecamachalco abandoned the operation of the club due to the possible elimination of the right of promotion for the clubs of the Ascenso MX to the Liga MX.[7] After this event, Tampico Madero continued in the league, but became a training team for Santos Laguna and Atlas, the Orlegi clubs that participate in the Liga MX.
In the spring of 2020, Ascenso MX was in a financial crisis derived from COVID-19 and the loss of television income and fans suffered by the clubs, therefore, the league became a youth soccer development tournament and promotion to Liga MX was abolished in exchange for member clubs receiving financial aid from teams in the highest category of Mexican football. The league was renamed as Liga de Expansión MX.

On April 20, 2022, Grupo Orlegi announced the end of the TM Fútbol Club franchise, which meant a new demise for the club.[12] The next day the purchase of the franchise was announced by businessman Arturo Lomelí, who decided to move the club to La Paz, Baja California Sur and rename it Club Atlético La Paz.[13]
After the end of the TM Fútbol Club franchise, local businessmen began efforts to bring a new team to the city.[14] On June 22, 2022, the new project was officially presented, the team was renamed Club Deportivo y Social Tampico Madero and played in the Liga Premier de México between 2022 and 2024. The new team emerged after acquiring the Atlético Reynosa franchise, which had been on hiatus since 2020. Enrique Badillo was appointed as the president of the club and Gastón Obledo as manager. In the first tournament for the new franchise, Tampico Madero dominated their competition and became the favorites to win the championship, however they were defeated in the final by Tuzos UAZ with an aggregate score of 2–3.[15]
In the Clausura tournament the team once again dominated the competition, so it advanced to the final phase. After eliminating Gavilanes de Matamoros and Cafetaleros de Chiapas, Tampico Madero reached the final against Inter Playa del Carmen, in the two games the teams tied at two goals, with an aggregate score of 4-4, for which a penalty shoot-out was necessary. Finally, Tampico Madero won the series 4-2 and won the championship.[16]
Tampico Madero won the 2022–23 season Champions Trophy against Tuzos UAZ, in a series of matches that were impacted by violent incidents in the first leg held in Zacatecas, the series ended with a 1–0 aggregate.[17] Although the team had won its right to promote to the Liga de Expansión through sports merits, this was denied by the Mexican Football Federation, considering that the team did not meet the requirements to participate in that league, so Tampico Madero should have remained in the Liga Premier.[18]
In the 2023–24 season Tampico Madero revalidated its status as champion of the Liga Premier – Serie A by defeating Los Cabos United in the final in the final with an aggregate score of 4–1,[19] although the team won the right to be examined for promotion to the Liga de Expansión, the board decided to purchase a franchise of a participating team in the higher category, pending approval by the League's regulatory authorities.[20] On July 12, 2024, the assembly of Liga de Expansión owners approved the entry of Tampico Madero as a guest team of the Liga Premier, so the purchase of a franchise was not necessary to have the promotion.[21] After its promotion to the category, the team was officially renamed Club Jaiba Brava due to regulatory issues regarding the team name.[22]
