Can the Texas state flag be placed in a position of superiority over the U.S. flag?
Answered by Al Cavalari · The Flag Guys · Posted 1996, still relevant
The Texas state flag may be placed in a
position of superiority to The US flag because a) This flag protocol was a
condition for Texas coming into the union or b) Texas was once a sovereign
The next time someone
tells you this information show him the Texas flag code
. Of course it is true that Texas was indeed an independent
republic having won its independence from Mexico. Before gaining her
independence, our Great Lone Star State was a state of Mexico in the way that it
is now a state of The United States of America.
