Small Wars Journal: Mexican Cartel Tactical Note 12
Two California based security academics analyze seizures in the aftermath of a March, 2012 gunfight between a los Zetas crimnal cell in Piedras Negras, Coahuila and Mexican security forces.

An excerpt:


[Police] Commander Heal's concerns are being echoed by many law enforcement officers along the U.S. Border. Increasingly, we are witnessing the emergence of zones of "dual-sovereignty" being established by the cartels on U.S. soil. The potential for the loss of de facto political control in rural areas of Southern Texas across from Piedras Negras and other borderland towns controlled by the Mexican cartels is becoming a U.S. national security concern.
