After the death of President Francesco Madero, Madero joined the forces of General Francisco Villa, with whom he participated for almost the entire rest of the revolutionary stage. He was governor of Nuevo León at this time, and in subsequent years he was governor of Coahuila.
Mexican Revolution
Despite his wealth, in 1910 he joined the revolutionary movement in San Antonio, Texas, headed by his brother Francisco I. Madero, and acted as one of his closest collaborators. In the armed struggle he held the position of secretary treasurer and on 9 February 1911 he was awarded the rank of Major. He fought with the rank of Captain in the Battle of Casas Grandes in mid-April 1911. Accompanying Peppino Garibaldi, and at the head of a column of 800 men, he defeated Lieutenant Colonel Pueblita at Bauche. He participated in the taking of Ciudad Juárezin May 1911.
Once Francisco I. Madero became president of the country, Raúl held various military commissions; He participated with Francisco Villa in the fight against the split of Pascual Orozco, integrating the Carabineros de Nuevo León group with 300 men to fight the Orozquista rebellion. With the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, he was part of the brigade commanded by his brother Emilio Madero, a Brigadier attached to the Northern Division, which was sent against the Orozquistas under the command of General Victoriano Huerta.
In 1915 he was interim governor of Coahuila , and of Nuevo León from February to May of the same year. When Villistas forces seized the city of Monterrey in 1915, Villa himself appointed Raúl Madero to govern Nuevo León.
