The flag of Texas, also known as the Lone Star Flag, is the official flag of the U.S. state of Texas. Along with the flag of Hawaii, it is one of two state flags to have previously served as a national flag of an independent country.
In 2001, the North American Vexillological Association surveyed its members on the designs of the 72 U.S. state, territorial, and Canadian provincial flags and ranked the Texas flag second, behind New Mexico.
The actual designer of the flag is unknown. Some historians and the Texas Legislature in 1989 claim that Charles B. Stewart of Montgomery, Texas, is either the designer of the flag or drew the image used by the Third Congress when enacting the legislation adopting the flag. However, Stewart's drawing "looks suspiciously like a tracing of the Peter Krag art, including the upside down signature of President Lamar".
