Teodoro A. Dehesa Méndez (October 1, 1848 – September 25, 1936) was the Governor of the state of Veracruz in Mexico for five terms from 1892 to 1911.

He studied his first letters at La Amiga, under supervision of Jacinta, Dolores and Carmen Torres.

After his family moved to Xalapa, he finished his primary education at Francisco Ramos school and then joined Teodoro Kerlegand's Liceum.

Teodoro Dehesa moved to Cuba and, at some point, returned to Mexico, where he later died in 1936.

It is unknown what happened to Francisco Dehesa, but his wife and children moved to California, where their descendants still live.
