Texas State Holidays 2025

Last reviewed: May 19, 2026 · Holiday data: June 23, 2026

Texas state government offices observe 14 holidays in 2025: the federal holidays plus 4 state-specific days (Confederate Heroes Day, Texas Independence Day, San Jacinto Day). Banks and most private employers in the United States follow the federal calendar, so a standard business-day count is unchanged: 2025 has 251 federal working days.

How Texas's holidays differ from the federal set

Texas designates several state holidays beyond the federal set, including Confederate Heroes Day on 19 January, Texas Independence Day on 2 March, San Jacinto Day on 21 April, and Lyndon B. Johnson Day on 27 August. Under the Government Code, several are partial-staffing holidays, meaning state offices stay open. Banks and most private employers follow the federal calendar, so none of these change a standard business-day count.

Effect on business-day counts

The working-day total on this page uses the federal holidays that banks and the Federal Reserve observe nationwide. The Texas holidays listed here are state-government office closures; most private employers do not close for them, so they usually do not change a business-day count. Observed dates can shift when a state holiday falls on a weekend.
