Is this believed to be a natural earthquake, or is it, like some other small recent earthquakes, suspected to be a result of fracking? Does anyone know whether or not fracking has been used much near that area?

That's strange. The USGS Earthquakes website listed two tremors that
occurred on April 28th :

M 4.3 : 36 miles SW of Sierra Blanca, TX; Depth - 6 miles

M 4.1 : 41 miles S of Fort Hancock, TX; Depth 6 miles

It must have been less than 4.0 as it didn't show up on the USGS report.

Fires seem to be getting under better controll, but an Earthquake occurred
in northern Mexico about 35 miles southwest of Sierra Blanca, Texas.
Tremors were felt in El Paso. Some landowners have complained of sudden changes
to their water pressure.
