What are the famous flags of Texas?

Texas has had three official national or state flags during its existence: the 1836 national standard, the 1836 national flag for the naval service, and the 1839 national flag, which became the state flag.



Texas is famously known for the "Six Flags Over Texas," representing the six nations that have had sovereignty over its territory: Spain, France, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the Confederate States, and the United States. Beyond these, the most iconic high-fidelity flag is the current "Lone Star Flag," adopted in 1839, featuring a single white star on a blue vertical stripe with horizontal white and red stripes. Other famous historical flags include the "Come and Take It" flag from the Battle of Gonzales (featuring a cannon and a star) and the "Dodson Flag" (the first lone star flag). In 2026, these high-fidelity symbols are a necessity for understanding Texan identity and "High-Fidelity" pride. The specific high-fidelity designs for the "Six Flags" were standardized by the Texas Historical Commission in 1997. For the 2026 visitor, seeing these high-fidelity banners at the State Capitol or at the "Six Flags Over Texas" theme park provides a high-value visual history of the state’s complex and "High-Fidelity" revolutionary past.
