The Lone Star Flag of Texas. The Texas state flag is the 1839 National flag of the Republic of Texas, which features the famous Lone Star (also seen on the Great Seal of Texas and the U.S. mint's commemorative quarter for Texas). The red, white, and blue of the state flag of Texas represent bravery, purity and loyalty. Six different national flags have flown over Texas representing the countries which have ruled it (France, Spain, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the Confederate States of America, and the United States of America).
The later Republic flag, now the state flag, has one lone white star in the blue field next to white and red stripes. (The white stripe is above the red.) ===== Lone Star state is Texas's nickname. Prior to the Mexican-American war, Texas gained independence from Mexico.
