roi = geemap.osm_to_ee('Texas, United States')
Map.addLayer(roi,{},'roi')
Map.centerObject(roi,12)
Map

Actually, the geopandas was already installed. I using conda install geopandas, and the 0.9.0 version was installed without problem.

Installing geopandas without any problem does not mean that you can use it without any problem. Try import geopandas and if it throws an OSError: could not find or load spatialindex_c-64.dll, that means geopandas is not installed properly. Create a fresh conda env, and then use conda install geopandas. Do NOT use conda install geopandas -c conda-forge. Then try import geopandas again and make sure no error occurs before install geemap.

Ok, I solved this issue by following your suggestion. Thank you.
