 In 1750, a French soldier, the son of deceased explorer and soldier Louis Juchereau, asked Junco y Espriella for a license for direct trade with the Caddo people.Junco y Espriella refused this license, so the soldier carried French troops to the towns and took many goods to try to convince the indigenous people that the Spanish were not their friends since they had tried to stop the French from giving them the goods.He was dismissed from the office of governor in late 1750 because he chose to ignore a royal decree banning French trade in New Mexico and the existence of gambling.
