He holds a bachelor's degree in law and has been a professor of law at the Autonomous University of Tlaxcala (UAT) since 1974.[1] Ortiz also served as Rector of the UAT from 1983 to 1987 and again from 1999 to 2000.[1] From 1990 to 1991 he served as Secretary of Education of the State of Tlaxcala.[1] He served in the lower house of Congress during its 55th session (1991–1994, for Tlaxcala's first district) and 58th session (2000–2001, for Tlaxcala's second district).[1] In 2002 he was elected mayor of Tlaxcala.
