By the Way, Louisiana and Vermont used to be there own country as well.

Louisiana was never a country. It was a territory held by france. Vermont was never a country either. It WAS however a sovereign entity for quite a few years, but never its own country.

According to Texas government code, Title 11, section3100.055
"If the state flag and the flag of the United States are displayed on flagpoles or flagstaffs at the same location: (1) the flags should be displayed on flagpoles or flagstaffs of the same height;"
The texas flag can be flown at the same height as the U.S. flag

No other state can do this. I may be wrong, but I dont think so.

Heck, at the Texas Army National Guard, only the Texas flag flies over it during the day.

Lets not start this again....Texas just needs to become part of Mexico, and be done with it.

Isn't there supposed to be another thread by now?.....for the nominee's?

[Southpaw]

Just wanted to add this and then I'm done...TANK is right

Quoted from wikipedia. I have read the US flag law(the only one that concerns me) and it backs this up.

It is a common urban legend that the Texas flag is the only state flag that is allowed to fly at the same height as the U.S. flag. Allegedly, Texas has this right inherently (as a former independent nation) or because it negotiated special provisions when it joined the Union (this version has been stated as fact on a PBS website[3]). However, the legend is false. Neither the Joint Resolution for Annexing Texas to the United States nor the Ordinance of Annexation contain any provisions regarding flags. According to the United States Flag Code, any state flag can be flown at the same height as the U.S. flag; the U.S. flag should be on its right (the viewer's left), however. Consistent with the U.S. Flag Code, the Texas Flag Code specifies that the state flag should either be flown below the U.S. flag if on the same pole or at the same height as the U.S. flag if on separate poles.[1]
