Flag of Texas

The flag of Texas was introduced about six years before joining the Union in 1845. The state uses the colors of the Stars and Stripes, but only one star - hence the name The Lone Star State ( The state with the one star ). The colors of the flag have the following meanings: blue stands for loyalty, white for purity, and red for bravery.

A single star on blue base also led the existing 1836-1845 Republic of Texas. The so-called Burnet flag was inspired by the Bonnie Blue Flag of the Republic of West Florida.
