BK, brother, here is an except from the Texas Constitution......amended in 2001:

Added by Acts 2001, 77th Leg., ch. 1420, § 7.001, eff. Sept. 1, 2001.



(b) If the state flag and the flag of the United States are displayed on flagpoles or flagstaffs at the same location:

(1) the flags should be displayed on flagpoles or flagstaffs of the same height;

(2) the flags should be of approximately equal size;

Let's move on, we are close to hijacking the thread.

So Texas just claimed it? Any state could do that. The US isn't denying any state the right to fly their flag at the same height. They fly it lower out of respect
