Yep, in 1958, Walt Disney released a series titled The Nine Lives of Elfego Baca, starring Robert Loggia as Elfego. Ten episodes shared the exploits of the legendary New Mexican frontier lawman.
By the way, Disney also released some of these episodes as the 1962 movie Elfego Baca: Six Gun Law. It starred Loggia and featured Annette Funicello, the little Mouseketeer who grew up, as Chiquita.
