    Hi Jason, 

    Border crossing should be no problem you may just have to make an inventory of the equipment you are crossing with and declare it on your way in. The officials may do an inventory and give you a document that has all serial numbers and equipment you cross with. This you will need on your way out, so when you go out you may need to show this to the authorities. At least this is the way to do it when you go from Mexico to the US. (this is to avoid Mexican Customs Charges). 
    Regarding flying, there is a document published by the DGAC (FAA equivalent in Mexico) regarding UAV operations it states that you need a bunch of things to operate a UAV, however I am yet to hear of a UAV operator in Mexico that is following this, plus it contradicts itself in several places. It seems to still be a work in progress. I would not worry about the authorities just yet. However, flying in Coahuila, I would be more worried about flying in an area where there may be illegal activities going on. We had a couple of issues with armed groups threatening us, in areas near Monterrey and  Saltillo.
