There's a bumper sticker that says, " I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could."
Folks in the Lone Star State have a tendency to take as much pride in being a Texas as they do in being an American. So, it should come as no surprise that Texans love their flag with the single white star on a background as blue as the Texas skies, with the two bands of red and white forming the remainder of the banner. I don't know of any other state flag that is as much beloved, both as a flag, and as a designer decoration. Here are a few of my favorite shots of the Lone Star flag...
