Additional Details:
The flag of Texas shows a single star, from which the name "The Lone Star State" is derived; this was adopted to represent isolation of the Commonwealth; the first flag, of white with a fifteen-pointed azure star - was presented in 1835 to the Georgia Battalion, then fighting for Texan liberty. The Seal and Arms of the Republic showed a white star on a blue field surrounded by live oak and olive branches, and is use by the State to-day
