Texas State Flag - Official Design, History, and Symbolism #1782980 (License: Personal Use)

The Texas state flag, known as the Lone Star Flag, consists of a vertical blue stripe on the hoist side bearing a single white five-pointed star, alongside two horizontal stripes-white on top and red on bottom. Adopted in 1839 by the Republic of Texas and retained upon statehood in 1845, its colors symbolize loyalty (blue), purity (white), and bravery (red). The lone star represents Texas’s former status as an independent republic and its enduring spirit of sovereignty.
