Biography
Téllez was born in
National Preparatory School in Mexico City.[3]
After joining the foreign service, he was appointed
ambassador by President Plutarco Elías Calles. He signed the treaty of the General Claims Convention as ambassador,[6] also the Dean of the Diplomatic Corps since August 1930,[7] and served until 9 November 1931,[1] when he resigned to join the cabinet of President Pascual Ortiz Rubio
as secretary of the Interior.
Téllez didn't last long as secretary of the Interior, as President Ortiz Rubio appointed him secretary of Foreign Affairs in January 1932, substituting Genaro Estrada.[8]
Téllez died in Mexico City on 25 May 1937.[5] A few decades later, one of his grandsons, Luis Téllez, served as secretary of Energy in the cabinet of President Ernesto Zedillo and as secretary of Communications and Transportation in the cabinet of President Felipe Calderón.[9]
