Texas is often considered to be the last state to have officially ended slavery on June 19th 1865, which became known as "Juneteenth."
However, although Juneteenth commemorates the ending of slavery in the U.S., the state of Mississippi didn't "ratify" (to make it official) the 13th amendment until 1995. Kentucky didn't ratify until 1976. See the link below for further explanation.
Note that the 13 amendment adopted on December 6, 1865, which abolished slavery, still made it illegal for anyone to own a slave in Texas, Kentucky, or Mississippi from this point onward.
