Not at all; while Texas is a state belonging to the United States, Mexico is an independent country south of the US.

Confusion may arise because from 1821 until 1836, Texas used to be a territory of Mexico, but after the Texas Revolution (1835-1836) and the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) it became part of the US. Hence, it shares many cultural and demographic traits with Mexico.
