The squad lost 9 matches in its first 15 games collapsing in the relegation table below Toros Neza. On 20 November 1994 the municipal government of Tampico sanctioned the club allegedly due to Pelaez did not pay the lease of Tamaulipas Stadium and banned the team to play at that field. The match on 19 November 1994 against Toros Neza was in fact the last First Division game played in the port.

After the ban, in a shockingly move, Owner Pelaez Pier transferred the franchise out from Tampico to Queretaro and leased the Corregidora Stadium until June 1995. Also, the team left its name Tampico Madero and was renamed TM-Gallos Blancos and even Pelaez sacked Jose Camacho as manager appointing Juan de Dios Castillo.

However, the squad collapsed for the second half of the season and on 2 April 1995 after a 0-1 defeat against CD Guadalajara the club was relegated to Primera Division A after just one single season.
