Elias Granqvist, 23 June 2007 Six National Flags over Texas The reverse of the State Seal of Texas features the "Six Flags Over Texas" (not to be confused with the amusement park of the same name). Running clockwise, starting in the 7 o'clock position, they are: Republic of Mexico Spain (post-1785) Royal France (White, semy de lys gold) Republic of Texas (same as the current state flag) Confederate States of America (first national, with 7 stars) United States of America (28 stars - Texas was the 28th state) The obverse of the seal was adopted in 1836, but the reverse described above was designed in 1961 and isn't really seen very often. Andrew Rogers, 18 March 1997 Republic of Texas The Republic of Texas was the name of Texas before it joined the Union and the current flag was the legal national flag from 10 December 1836 until 25 January 1839 (that's why the "Republic of Texas" proponents use it). Norman Martin, 20 June 1999 Maritime Flags image by Ed Qualls, 4 October 2001 This version of the Texan Naval Ensign is found on several 19th century flag sheets, but the documentary evidence, as published by Charles Spain in the South Texas Law Review, Feb. 1992, Vol.33, No. 1, pp. 215-259, is that the authorized version of the Texan Naval Ensign from 1836 to 1839 had a blue canton proportioned as in the U.S. flag, with the lone star. The 1839 legislation, which adopted the current State flag as the flag of the Republic of Texas, implicitly repealed the 1836 law regarding the naval ensign, in section 4, when it authorized the President to establish a flag for the naval service. I have asked Kin Spain whether the version with the blue vertical hoist, which matches the 1839 national flag, but with 13 stripes replacing the 2 white and red horizontal bars of the 1839 national flag, as evidenced by the mid-19th century flag charts, might be the naval ensign with the 1839 legislation directs the President to approve, but for which no documentary evidence has yet been found in the Texas archives. Devereaux Cannon, 5 October 2001 1839 Ensign image by Miles Li, 21 September 2008 Texas has had two naval ensigns, the 1824 green-white-red flag adopted in 1835 and the 1836 13 red-and-white striped flag with a white lone star in the blue canton. The 1836 flag replaced the 1835 flag, and the 1836 flag ceased to exist when Texas joined the U.S. on 29 Dec 1845. Texas currently has no maritime flag. Charles Spain, 5 June 1996 Pilot Flag image by Devereaux Cannon, 9 September 1998 Charles A. Spain in his "The Flags and Seals of Texas" states that this flag is just a "Pilot Flag" used only as an auxiliary flag similar to the U.S. Coast Guard ensign.

According to the Flag Law of Texas: Art. 6139b. Pledge of allegiance to the state flag. (a) The pledge of allegiance to the state flag is, ""Honor the Texas Flag, I pledge allegiance to thee Texas. One State, under God, one and indivisible."" (b) The pledge of allegiance to the state flag should be rendered by all present except those in uniform by standing at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Individuals who are not in uniform and who are wearing a headdress that is easily removable should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, with the hand over the heart. Individuals in uniform should remain silent, face the flag, and render the military salute. (c) The pledge of allegiance to the state flag may be recited at all public and private meetings at which the pledge of allegiance to the United States flag is recited and at state historical events and celebrations. (d) The pledge of allegiance to the state flag should be recited after the pledge of allegiance to the United States flag if both are recited. submitted: Phil Nelson, 13 December 2002 updated: Hank Bourdo, 17 February 2008 note: House Bill 1034 passed on May 4, 2007 was enacted to revise the Pledge. It passed 124 to 12 with 2 absent and 2 not voting.

The Texas State Guard is the organized militia and Congressionally authorized state defense force of the State of Texas. Administered under the Texas Military Department, along with the Texas National Guard and Texas Air National Guard, the Texas State Guard is answerable only to the Governor of Texas and cannot be brought into federal service. As such, the State Guard can only be mobilized for missions within Texas, normally for emergency and disaster response, though the governor can also mobilize them for border security and community service. These missions are typically conducted in support of the Texas National Guard and Air National Guard. The Texas State Guard is organized into four brigades—the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 6th Brigades—each responsible for a different geographic area of the state, and is commanded by a Texas major general. (Military personnel holding state ranks are automatically subordinate to personnel holding federal ranks when operating in a joint environment.) The current commanding officer is Maj. Gen. (TX) Anthony Woods, a former US Army officer who left the Army in 2015 and transferred to the Texas State Guard. (https://tmd.texas.gov/state-guard) The flag of the Texas State Guard can be seen in several photographs online and on several websites, including the organization's Wikipedia entry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_State_Guard). The flag can be seen in a photograph at https://thetexan.news/texas-state-guard, showing a changing of command ceremony, with the flag matching that seen on the Wikipedia page. The flag features the Texas State Guard logo centered on a dark blue field. The logo itself has a red capital "T" superimposed over a white five-pointed star. The graphic above has been adapted from the Wikimedia image at https://commons.wikimedia.org, created by user Glasshouse in March 2020.

Texas has had two naval ensigns, the 1824 green-white-red flag adopted in 1835 and the 1836 13 red-and-white striped flag with a white lone star in the blue canton. The 1836 flag replaced the 1835 flag, and the 1836 flag ceased to exist when Texas joined the U.S. on 29 Dec 1845. Texas currently has no maritime flag. Charles Spain, 5 June 1996

Originally the pledge began with the right hand over the heart while saying the opening words "I pledge allegiance..." The arm was then straightened out, palm upward, in the direction of the flag as one said "to the flag..." and remained extended through the rest of the pledge. Once Hitler came to power in Europe, some Americans were concerned that this position of the arm and hand resembled the Nazi or Fascist salute. In 1942 Congress also established the current practice of rendering the pledge with the right hand over the heart. Joe McMillan, 13 December 2002
