According to Elizabeth Ann Harper John, he plundered New Mexico, expropriating the belongings of settlers and Native Americans. In addition, he traded in Santa Barbara "nine wagons load of loot" and most of the New Mexican livestock. Three years later, the population of New Mexico suffered hunger and disease.<ref name=" Confrontation in the Southwest">John, Elizabeth Ann Harper (Second edition, 1996).

In 1633 Ceballos banned the workshops in the [[encomiendas]] and the use of the Native Americans to personal service. In addition, he established the obligation to pay taxes to New Mexico on "wheat, corn, cassava, fish, cotton, vegetables, or anything else". In addition, it was recommended that government officials in the province call a meeting of the royal officials, prelates, the bishop, and some "disinterested" persons to discuss the issue and decide the amount of money that people had to pay through tributes. The trustees were supposed to obey the decision by law, and their salary would be limited to the amount that had been set. However, the civil authorities and parts of the church disobeyed those laws, due, respectively, to the "selfishness" and "jealousy" that they had.
In addition, the King [[Charles II of Spain]] published laws that banned the work by Indigenous women and sons who had not yet the minimum age to pay taxes. However, the requirements of some laws were not clear and it allowed the settlers to force the Native American to work in exchange a wages. Many of them were indebted to the settlers. Mayors and jailers forced the Native American prisoners to work for certain persons in the convents. <ref name=" NeMeFrMCa">[http://newmexicohistory.org/people/ceballos-francisco-de-la-mora-y New Mexico Office of the Historian: Francisco de la Mora y Ceballos].

Francisco de la Mora y Ceballos was replaced by [[Francisco Martínez de Baeza]] in 1635, returning (probably) to modern Mexico sometime in this year.<ref name=" NeMeFrMCa"/>
