The flag of Texas is a symbol of the state's rich history and heritage. The flag features a blue stripe at the hoist, representing loyalty and justice, with two white stripes on either side. In the center of the flag is a gold Lone Star emblem, signifying independence and freedom. The Lone Star emblem is a nod to Texas' status as a republic before it joined the United States. The five-pointed star represents the unity and strength of the people of Texas, while the surrounding blue stripe symbolizes the state's commitment to justice and loyalty. The colors used on the flag have specific meanings. Blue represents loyalty, justice, and vigilance, while white stands for purity and innocence. Gold, or yellow, signifies bravery and generosity. These colors were chosen by the Republic of Texas in 1839 and have remained unchanged since then. The flag was designed by Senator William H. Wharton, who is credited with creating the Lone Star emblem. Wharton's design has been an important part of Texas history for nearly two centuries.
