In 1940, he was invited to become a member of the administration of President Manuel Ávila Camacho, with whom he collaborated on a project to build the Tonantzintla Observatory in San Andrés Cholula, Puebla, where favorable atmospheric conditions for astronomical studies existed. He renounced his post as director of this observatory in 1947 and returned to Mexico City, where he dedicated himself to writing articles on astronomy for the newspaper Excélsior. As an amateur astronomer, he is also noted for his study of southern variable stars.[3]
Due to a heart condition, he was interned for several weeks in 1951, during which time he wrote a novel, Los pies descalzos ("Bare feet"), which concerns Emiliano Zapata. Erro died of heart attack in Mexico City in 1955, and his ashes were interred at the Tonantzintla Observatory.[4]
