Yep, but more accurately, Texas was a "Republic", and therefore was recognized as Country before it was asked to join the Union. Texas can still secede legally if it wants to.

If I recall correctly, Texas reserved the right to secede from the union in its state charter, one of the reasons it can fly its flag at the same level. Only state in that catagory.


Jimmy, is this correct?

That's right, John. "The Republic of Texas". Did you know
that Texas is the only state that can legally fly its flag at
the same height as the American Flag? We were once a
"Country". Am I being to arrogant? LOL

I am originally from Alaska, which if it was dividned into 4
parts would make Texas the firth largest state.


Ducking and running.
