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.
In Spanish, the translation came out as tejas. Eventually, Tejas became Texas. Texas is also known as the Lone Star State, in reference to the state flag. The flag displays a single, five-point white star on a field of blue with an upper white horizontal stripe and a lower red horizontal stripe.bout 90 percent of Texas' Anglo immigrants were from the South, and with the election of Abraham Lincoln as president, secessionists had more ammunition. On February 1st, 1861, exactly 25 years after Texas proclaimed independence from Mexico, the state seceded from the Union.
