Actual texture is texture which may be physically felt. Implied texture is texture that may be seen only, as in a painting. For instance, while the smooth texture of a statue or the uneven texture of a painter's brushstrokes are actual texture, the rough-appearance of a table in a still life painting is implied texture.

Two kinds of texture in art are real or actual texture and simulated or representational texture.
Texture is a term with which many interior or photographic designers are familiar. By definition, texture is "the properties held and sensations caused by the external surface of objects received through the sense of touch."
In a work of art texture can be implied or actual, three dimensional would be the same as actual.
Actual texture is texture that you can feel, whereas visual or implied texture is when something looks like it has a texture it does not. For instance, the actual texture of a painting may be smooth, but the visual/implied texture may be rough and bumpy.
