The flag of Texas is famously known for its prominent single pure white star. The flag is commonly referred to as "the Lone Star Flag", which is also similar to the Texas State nickname of "The Lone Star State". The Texas flag may very well be the flag treated with the highest degree of reverence and esteem by the state's population. 

The flag consists of a deep blue vertical stripe 1/3rd the length of the flag with a pure white single five-pointed star in the center of the blue stripe with one point facing upward towards the heavens. Equal sized verticle stripes of white and red situated next to the blue stripe. The white stripe on the top of the flag and the red stripe on the bottom of the flag. 

The flag still flown today was first officially adopted on January 25, 1839, as the national flag of the Republic of Texas.  The national flag became the Texas State flag on December 29, 1845, when Texas became a state. Due to government clerical errors, there was no official flag for Texas from 1879-1933; however, the flag remained the state flag even with the states legislatures massive mistake when adopting the Revised Civil Statues of 1879. This happened due to the wording of the statues repealing all statues not expressly continued in force, and as the flag was not mentioned it the state was technically flagless until they passed the flag law in 1933 correcting their error.

The Texas State Legislature also famously made other clerical mistakes in 1933 while adopting the state's pledge which officially became "Honor the Texas Flag of 1836; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one and indivisible." Due to this wording, the pledge wasn't even for the "Lone Star Flag", rather it was a pledge to the 1836 Texas national flag, known as David G. Burnet's flag (shown below.) It took the legislature 32 years to correct this issue when in 1965 the pledge officially became "Honor the Texas Flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one and indivisible."

Additionally on June 15, 2007 the flag pledge was amended again and is now officially “ Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state under God, one and indivisible.”
