Passports are often not stamped when entering your own country because the turning in of your entry visa is digitally recorded and filed. If you request a stamp, they will do so.
Driving a US vehicle into Mexico has nothing to do with the border official that waves you through. You park and go into the building that houses immigration. There you show your car papers, your passport and fill out a temporary vehicle importation permit form for 6 months and a tourist visa for you. Then, to the SAT line. (Servicio Administracion Tribunal). Copies of your passport..Then to Banjercito to pay for your vehicle permit;approximately $300.This money will not be returned to you if the vehicle is in Mexico after the date on the permit. You ay be denied re entry to Mexico if you too are not out of Mexico by the date on your visa.
What that officer did was wrong. As long as you turned in your immigration card to airline staff when exiting Mexico, your exit should be recorded.
Mexico also doesn’t have exit formalities at airports, only at land borders.
Most countries don’t even stamp their own citizens’ passports, and not even the US is obliged to these days, so I have no idea what that Mexican officer was on.
Try again, and if you can, bring your boarding pass for the Cancun-Dallas flight if they should ask for proof of your departure.
Normally you won’t even see a Mexican immigration officer at the border; instead you need to drive to the immigration office to get the FMM and passport stamp.
