(January 7, 2008)--A couple from Mexico and their three children died Monday when their mobile home caught fire in a dilapidated trailer park near Alvin.

Brazoria County Fire Marshal Al Priselac says the blaze appears to have started in a bedroom.

The exact cause is pending.

Family members identified the couple as 33-year-old Ignacio and 26-year-old Rosa Contreras.

The Houston Chronicle reports the children were 7-year-old Yazmin Reyes, 4-year-old Ignacio, Jr. and 1-year-old Vincente.

Relatives say Ignacio Contreras worked as a roofer.

Family members also say the Mexican couple had a common-law marriage and were not U.S. citizens.

The Ashley Oaks trailer park about 30 miles south of Houston housed mostly Hispanic residents.

Managers of the park didn't immediately comment.
