Yes, Texas did free its enslaved people after the Emancipation Proclamation, which was issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863. However, the proclamation only applied to the states in rebellion, and it wasn't effectively enforced in Texas until Union troops arrived. The official announcement of emancipation in Texas came on June 19, 1865, when Union General Gordon Granger issued General Order No. 3, leading to the celebration of Juneteenth as a significant date in American history.
