He is recognized as a significant figure in the civic and educational history of the state of San Luis Potosí.

Born in the city of San Luis Potosí, Lastras Ramírez pursued a career in jurisprudence and held various public offices throughout his life. During his tenure as Rector of UASLP, he oversaw a period of academic expansion and administrative restructuring. His leadership is often cited in the context of the university's institutional development during the late 20th century.
