Abstract: The environmental challenges affecting the Endhó Dam in Hidalgo, Mexico, involve responsibilities across different levels of government and require coordination mechanisms capable of sustaining commitments beyond administrative terms. This study examines the documentary traceability of institutional actions addressing these challenges, focusing on administrative continuity and the monitoring of commitments involving the municipality of Tepetitlán during 2024–2026. Using a qualitative, documentary case study with a descriptive-analytical scope, the research examines legal instruments, Recommendation 159/2024 of the National Human Rights Commission, municipal transparency records, and institutional communications. The analysis distinguishes five levels of evidence: recognition of the problem, announcement of interventions, formalisation of commitments, documented implementation, and verification of outcomes. The documents reveal institutional recognition predating the 2024 federal ecological restoration declaration, as well as municipal actions related to acceptance of the recommendation and interinstitutional coordination. However, the sources reviewed do not allow a comprehensive reconstruction of implementation or verification of environmental outcomes. This documentary limitation does not, by itself, demonstrate institutional inactivity or noncompliance. A documentary traceability model is proposed to connect commitments, institutional responsibilities, designated officers, resources, deadlines, and verifiable outcomes, supporting analysis of administrative continuity and accountability in municipal environmental management.
