Throughout From Dusk Till Dawn[]

In From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter, he was planning to execute Johnny Madrid in 1913 but his execution was ruined when Catherine Reece helped Johnny escape and Esmeralda went with him. He and some of his men then go on a hunt after them, and they find Catherine being hanged, but still alive. She leads them to where they are and a battle breaks out. It is then revealed afterwards that some patrons in the Titty Twister are vampires, and he manages to kill a few. He shoots Quixtla in the head, and she shows her vampiric nature. He and the remaining few are then captured by the vampires and are tied up. They watch as Esmeralda becomes a vampire, now going by the name Santánico Pandemonium and after being free, Santánico bites and turns him, making him a vampire. When Quixtla tries to go after Johnny and Ambrose, he closes the door to the bar, and the spikes go through her, trapping her and the sunlight kills her.
