All soda pops are called Coke.... Plus we're the only state in the nation that flag flies even with the U S flag., not under it.
 
the United States flag, but the United States flag should be on the right side. A State flag can not fly at a greater height than the United States flag. Please have a great day! Kelley (Texas) :)

As a state, we were able to fly our flag at same height as the US flag, after the war of Northern Aggression from 1860 to 1865 we thought we would lose the right but it was over looked and we got to keep it , so when you see a Texas flag flying it's been under 6 different countries and was it on Republic when we joined the Union.
