As the name implies, the team represented both Laredo, Texas and Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. Home games were split among the two cities and the National Anthems of both countries were played prior to the beginning of each game. The Tecolotes were the first, and only, baseball team to represent two nations.
Reyes played for the Tecolotes until 1989. He moved to the Tuneros de San Luis Potosi in 1990 and then to the Industriales de Monterrey. Enrique finished his playing days with the Rieleros de Aguascaliente in 1992.
A long and productive career as a manager in the Liga Mexicana de Beisbol began for Reyes when the Rieleros de Aguascaliente hired him to manage the club in 1998. He managed the Rieleros for two seasons before moving to the Pericos de Puebla in 2000 and then the Tecolotes Dos Laredos in 2001.
