Almost certainly, yes. There are interstate agreements covering such things. But also you have to consider specifically how the powers are going to be used and the realities involved. If you walk into a local bank in the middle of Texas with an Illinois Power of Attorney more likely than not they're going to show you the door. And so you'll have to get a Texas lawyer to enforce the document.
Good luck.
