No, there was never an actual Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Leather Face was loosely based on a man named Ed Gein. A Wisconsin man that in the 1950's murdered a few women and used their body parts to make furniture and other household items. His story also inspired Psycho and The Silence of The Lambs and the movie Ed Gein. Toby Hooper and Kim Henkle wrote the story of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre using bits of info from the Ed Gein story, they added a chainsaw in to make it add to the story a bit scarier.

On a personal note: I lived in Texas as a child and I grew up being told that the Texas Chainsaw Massacre was a true story. I was told this by many family members and still till this day my papa swears it's a true story. Sorry to burst your bubble pops, it's not a true story.
