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.
TXU Energy is proud to have our roots in Texas â the Lone Star State.. But do you know why and how Texas came to be called by that name? Theories abound as to the exact story, but the tale always begins south of the border. Way back when, Texas was a province of Mexico. The land that would one day become the current state of Texas encompassed two different areas and was called Coahuila y Tejas. It's thought that the original flag for this land bore two gold stars in the middle of the red, green and white stripes of the Mexican flag. From 1835 to 1836, Texas fought to gain independence from Mexico, and the resulting victory meant a new flag for the newly independent Republic of Texas â the lone star, clearly labeled, Texas made its first appearance. This flag, and subsequent variations of it, all featured a lone star, representing defiance, pride and â most importantly â independence. Texas joined the Union on December 29, 1845, as the 28th state.
