Texas State Flag - Official Design and Symbolism #1370959 (License: Personal Use)

The Texas state flag features a vertical blue stripe on the hoist side bearing a single white star, symbolizing Texas as the “Lone Star State.” Adjacent are two horizontal stripes: white on top representing purity, and red below signifying bravery. Adopted in 1839, it remains one of the few U.S. state flags that was once the national flag of an independent republic.
