i live in el Paso Texas
some one told me a red October maple can't grow here

Answer
The maple should grow in El Paso provided you give it adequate water during dry periods and fertilize once per year.  The leaves all falling off sounds like a sign of transplant shock.  If when you planted the tree is was rainy and cool and then all of a sudden got hot and dry, this would cause the leaves to fall off.  The tree is not dead and may put on some new growth with the return of some cooler weather.  Right now all you can do is keep some water on it and hope it makes it.  Good Luck.
