No. The word delineate is the verb form (to delineate: to establish a line or extent, to mark precisely).
The past participle "delineated" could be used as an adjective, but using it to describe a "line" is grammatically redundant.
An acceptable form could be There is a delineated border that separates New Mexico and Texas.

No, the word "delineate" is not used correctly in this sentence. "Delineate" means to describe or outline something precisely, so a better phrasing would be "There is a delineated line that separates New Mexico and Texas."
