UPDATE: Federal court records indicated that Alanis posted bond on Wednesday, Oct. 25.

An official with the city of Progreso and the local school board remains in federal custody after a judge set his bond.

Progreso ISD school board President Francisco “Frank” Alanis had his bond set at $250,000, with a $15,000 deposit, in a Tuesday detention hearing, court records show.

Alanis, who also serves as Progreso’s assistant city manager, was arrested on Oct. 13 in connection with a drug trafficking investigation and accused of conspiring to distribute a total of 147 pounds of cocaine from January 2020 through March 2022.

Magistrate Judge Ignacio Torteya also set conditions for Alanis’ release should he pay the $15,000 deposit. Court records show Alanis has travel restricted to Hidalgo County — with permission to travel to Brownsville for federal court.

Alanis will also be barred from being in contact with his brother — Progreso Mayor Gerardo Alanis — and two other individuals, identified as Juan Jose Ramos and Cesar Solis.
