Yes. Most slaves were acquired since 1848 (when Mexico lost the territory after the Mexican-American War) during periodic raids against Native American settlements. Most slaves were brought to Las Cruces, Alamogordo and Santa Fe.
New Mexico also was admitted as a slave territory as part of a compromise to prevent the American Civil War, but it never hold more than a dozen black slaves, as Native American slaves were much easier to acquire and transport. In 1862 the US Congress outlawed slavery on all US territories, including New Mexico.
