You don't have to be a Texan to fly the flag of the Lone Star state. You get bragging rights as a little bit of Texas history graces your own kingdom and home.

The official state flag of Texas, called the Lone Star Flag, was adopted in 1845 when Texas became the 28th state of the United States. The colors represent bravery (red), purity (white), and loyalty (blue). The large white star was first used on Texas flags in the 1830's during the battles between Texas and Mexico.
