Is a cotton sewn Texas flag suitable for indoor display?
Yes. Cotton sewn Texas flags are ideal for indoor environments—offices, schools, government chambers, and ceremonial use—offering a traditional fabric feel with vibrant color depth.
Where did the Lone Star symbol originally come from?
The Lone Star was first used during the Texas Revolution (1835–1836) as a symbol of defiance and independence, appearing on early banners before becoming the official emblem of the Republic.
Who designed the current Texas state flag?
The exact designer is unknown, but the flag was introduced by Senator William H. Wharton and adopted by the Republic of Texas in 1839. Its symbolism has endured for nearly two centuries.
Why was the Lone Star Flag adopted in 1839?
The Republic of Texas wanted a bolder, more recognizable symbol of sovereignty. The Lone Star design reflected both Texan unity and the American-inspired ideals of freedom and self-rule.
How did Texas’ flag change during the Confederacy?
Texas flew the Confederate national flags (Stars and Bars, Stainless Banner) during its time in the Confederate States of America (1861–1865). However, the Lone Star motif remained common in military and civic use.
What’s the difference between a state flag and a national flag in Texas history?
From 1839 to 1845, the Lone Star Flag served as a **national flag** for the Republic of Texas. After annexation, it became a **state flag**, retaining its design but changing its legal role.
Did Texas fly a different flag when it seceded from the Union?
No official new flag was adopted during secession. Texas continued using the Lone Star flag informally while aligning with Confederate symbolism during the Civil War.
Are there legal penalties for misusing the Texas flag?
Yes. Under the **Texas Flag Code (Government Code §3100)**, there are guidelines for respectful use. Defacing or misrepresenting the flag in certain contexts can result in legal consequences.
Has the Texas flag design changed since 1839?
No. The flag’s dimensions, colors, and layout have remained consistent since 1839. The only major update was its formal legal recognition as the state flag in 1933.
Why is the Texas flag such a strong part of state culture?
Texas is the only U.S. state that was once an independent country. The flag symbolizes that legacy, along with values like resilience, pride, and loyalty—deeply embedded in Texan identity.

The United States Navy was preceded by the Continental Navy, and this flag is recorded as presented to its first Commander-in-Chief, Commodore Esek Hopkins, as his personal standard. In 1775 Christopher Gadsden was a member of the Marine Committee of the Second Continental Congress. This committee was responsible for outfitting the ships of the forming Continental Navy. This included originating a flag for the navy’s commander-in-chief, to fly as his standard from the mainmast of his flagship. It was this committee that decided Hopkins’ would fly a yellow flag with a snake and “don’t tread on me” on it. The following is from the Journal of the South Carolina Provincial Congress, 9 February 1776:
“Col. Gadsden presented to the Congress an elegant standard, such as is to be used by the commander in chief of the American navy; being a yellow field, with a lively representation of a rattle-snake in the middle, in the attitude of going to strike, and these words underneath, “DON’T TREAD ON ME!”
Because of this entry the flag has come to be called the Gadsden Flag.
It appears that this flag was flown aboard one of the first ships in the United States Navy, the Alfred, on January 4th, 1776 making it one of the oldest recorded flags of the United States, well before the Stars and Stripes were adopted (June of 1777). It is worth noting that the famed American naval officer John Paul Jones served as First Lieutenant on the Alfred directly under Commodore Hopkins (J.P. Jones later commanded the Alfred as its captain).
Gadsden was a key leader of the South Carolina patriots of the American Revolution, helping in 1765 to found and lead the Sons of Liberty in his state. He was a delegate to the Continental Congress, and rose to the rank of brigadier general in the Continental Army during America’s battle for independence. No armchair patriot, he spent nearly a year in solitary confinement in the dungeon of the old Spanish fort of San Marcos in St. Augustine, sent by British General Cornwallis. Released after the defeat of Cornwallis, Gadsden returned to his duties.
