Flags USA and Texas

I already miss Texas with its wide open spaces, Mountain Lion, dramatic sunsets, mild climate, South of Border graciousness and good food. And I miss the flags in Texas. They are proud of their own flag which to me is the best state flag.

It has been said that Texas is the only state which is permitted to display the USA and Texas flags side by side equally. This is not true. All states are allowed to display at the same height their flag side by side with the American flag.

What I believe is true is that there are more flags displayed in Texas than in any other state. American and Texas flags are everywhere: over every state and town building, in shopping malls, outside every car dealership,  outside of restaurants and other businesses, outside homes and ranches. Small flags, big flags, huge flags!
