The Texas flag is simple, three colors only and one big star in the left. The “Lone Star Flag” is used since January 25, 1839, making it one of the oldest flags being used continuously.

The official flag, the “National Standard of Texas,” was passed by the Congress of the republic and endorsed by President Sam Houston on December 10, 1836. It comprised of a purplish blue ground with an extensive brilliant star focal. This banner, known as David G. Burnet’s banner, filled in as the national flag until January 25, 1839, and the war signal from January 25, 1839, to December 29, 1845. President Burnet proposed the national standard, and in addition the 1836 national flag for the maritime administration, in a letter of October 11, 1836, to Congress. The second authority hail was the 1836 national flag for the maritime administration, or war ensign. This was a similar banner Burnet embraced for the naval force at Harrisburg on April 9, 1836. It was like the United States signal and demonstrated thirteen stripes and a blue canton with a solitary white star. It was passed by Congress and affirmed by Houston on December 10, 1836, and stayed being used until January 25, 1839.
