Actually, I thought the Texas flag was more properly flown BESIDE the American flag. I believe we're the only state in the Union that has the right to do that ... am I wrong?


Any state flag may be flown at equal height, not above, but must be to left of US flag

Quote:
When flown with flags of states, communities, or societies on separate flag poles which are of the same height and in a straight line, the flag of the United States is always placed in the position of honor - to its own right.

As a former resident of Dallas, but a non-Texan native --- I would apply for immediate political amnesty. Maybe I could get priority for admission.

I was born in dallas and live in a burb. I love texas, it has such an interesting culture and history. My husband is from the midwest and he fell in love with texas the minute he got here. He became what my dad called a "galvinized texan"., seriously, my hubby thinks of texas as his home . I'm proud to say that, as we say her in texas. Very Happy
we also don't get too many people moving here for our liberal welfare benefits b/c we don't have liberal welfare benefits. Shocked
