Abstract: Local Governments in Mexico must have real autonomy. Local Governments must exercise competences with limitations only enshrined in the Mexican Federal Constitution. The real situation is very different. There are many different regulations in each state regarding the powers of local Governments. This regulation sometimes does not recognize the autonomy of the Local Governments enshrined by the Federal Constitution. The aim of this paper is to show reasons a local legislator interpreted in a special way the article 115 of the Mexican constitution. This interpretation avoids the creation of municipal administrative courts. We conclude there is necessity to reform current legislation to allow municipal administrative courts in Tamaulipas. With these courts, strengthening of the local Governments in México, particularly in Tamaulipas, is possible. Furthermore, it could comply with the constitutional reform of article 115.
