Texas State Holidays: Seven Official Observances, Not Four

Texas recognizes seven state holidays, not four:

1. New Year's Day – January 1
2. Texas Independence Day – March 2
3. Emancipation Day (Juneteenth) – June 19
4. Independence Day – July 4
5. Labor Day – First Monday in September
6. Veterans Day – November 11
7. Thanksgiving Day – Fourth Thursday in November

State offices close on these days; private employers may observe differently. Confederate Heroes Day (Jan 19) is a "partial staffing holiday" but not a full closure day.
