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.
