The white star on a blue field was suggested by the first
official flag of the Republic of Texas, adopted in May 1836
from the design of Lorenzo de Zavala, a native of San Antonio,
Texas. To this has been added red rays, which allude to the
courage of all Texans who have fought gallantly in all wars
since 1826, and a red border, which refers to the blood shed
in protecting not only the liberties of the United States
but the liberties of all.
