A statement from CMN and Copar Music confirmed the postponement, citing unforeseen circumstances that prevented Álvarez from entering the U.S. in time for the event.
About 50,000 tickets had been sold for the show, according to Alvarez's team.
On Instagram, Álvarez expressed disappointment, saying the situation was beyond his control and noting that the stage had already been set up for the event.
"Sadly, the event will not go on as planned due to our work visa being canceled," he said on social media.
Álvarez also thanked fans for their patience and support, adding that he looks forward to reuniting with his Texas audience soon.
Promoters assured ticket holders that previously purchased tickets remain valid for the rescheduled date. Refund details will be provided via email in the coming days for those unable to attend.
In 2017, Álvarez's U.S. work visa was revoked due to alleged ties to a drug trafficker. He denied wrongdoing, saying his connection was through a real estate purchase. He was removed from the sanctions list in 2022 and regained his visa in 2025.

Jerry Jones Gives Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders 400-Percent Raise Leaving One Major Question
Jerry Jones Gives Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders 400-Percent Raise Leaving One Major Question originally appeared on Athlon Sports. FRISCO - We can imagine that somewhere up in the executive wing of Dallas Cowboys headquarters, the regime before Jerry Jones and since has viewed the fact that the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders really don't get paid as ... Advertisement Charming. But down the hall and out the building? A more apt word might be ... Cheap. As relayed in the latest episode of the "America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders" docuseries on Netflix,team members are stunned by the news that they will each receive real live actual paychecks for their work. It adds up to a 400-percent salary bump for the 2025 season ... The 400-percent increase will push the average salaries up to around $100,000 per season. Considering the fact that they put in ridiculous hours behind the scenes are are ubiquitous in front of the curtain? Jerry's still getting off easy. Advertisement To some, paying the DCC pennies on the dollar is a tradition. Former GM Tex Schramm set it up that way, and the Joneses never changed it. Indeed, for decades there has been criticism of a franchise now worth more than $10 billion paying part-time money for the Cheerleaders' decidedly full-time work. "You guys have moved some mountains this year that will forever change our organization and hopefully dancers' organizations across the world," the squad's director, Kelli Finglass, told the cheerleaders at their end-of-season banquet, as documented in Episode 7 of Season 2. "It's just amazing because that has been 60-plus years long overdue." That's a bold statement from Finglass, who is very much a part of the "family'' here with the Cowboys. But it's a true statement. The view has always essentially been, "It's such a honor to be a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader that you shouldn't do it for the money.'' A Cheerleader here can certainly springboard her way to fame and fortune; more than a few have gone on to Hollywood careers; The "America's Sweethearts'' docuseries on Netflix could surely launch big-time careers for those on camera. Advertisement But that never really justified not paying them a decent wage. What's left to ponder here? Just one question for Jerry Jones ... "What the hell took you so long?''
