When flown with flags of states, communities, or societies on separate flag poles which are of the same height and in a straight line, the flag of the United States is always placed in the position of honor - to its own right.
..The other flags may be smaller but none may be larger.
..No other flag ever should be placed above it.

The Texas State flag is the only flag in the country that can be flow at the SAME height, not above, the American Flag. This is because at one time Texas was a sovereign country.

It depends on your level of commitment to the United States vs. Texas. If you'd rather drive a truck with Calvin peeing on the back window, shoot squirrels, and wear the confederate flag in the form of a dew rag...then yes, the Texas flag should be higher.

Never!! No state should be higher than the USA flag.

The US flag is always suppose to be positioned higher than another state's flag. But it's not uncommon to see them equal.

No flag is to be positioned higher than the US flag. It may come across as arrogant of us, but that's the way it is. We do not even dip our flag in deference to another, or another head of state.

According to the United States Flag Code, any state flag can be flown at the same height as the U.S. flag. The U.S. flag must be on its right (the viewer's left), however.

Definitely. Texas is it's own country. So it should have a flag higher than Old Glory. Just like when I'm tea bagging your mom.

I don't care what state your are in, the United States flag is always supposed to be higher.
