It depends on what field of Art your in, as an example: in painting it would be the brush strokes and viscosity of the paint being used, the more pronounced the stroke the more texture.
Two kinds of texture in art are real or actual texture and simulated or representational texture.
Real texture physically exists on the art object- consider rust on a metal statue, or thickly-applied paint on an oil painting. Visual texture is the aesthetic representation of real texture- consider a photograph of rust. It shows the texture, but the photograph itself is smooth. Likewise, a smooth painting depicting rust.

In painting, texture can refer to a depiction of texture or the texture of the paint itself. Van Gogh's paintings were thick, swirly and gooey. They had tremendous texture, whereas "The Helga Pictures," by Andrew Wyeth have intricate brushwork that seems to give intimate detail to every thread in a sweater, every strand of hair. The painting itself, however in done in drybrushed watercolor with touches of egg tempera.
