-=> Quoting Mike Angwin to Robert Craft <=-
 RC>Better check the Flag Code - you are in error. A state flag
 RC>is flown below Old Glory when both are flown on the SAME
 RC>pole. When flown on separate poles, Old Glory is flown in
 RC>the superior position - the right. The subordinate position
 RC>is on the left, even when flown at the same height.
 MA> I would prefer to corrcet this one.  It is inappropiate to fly
 MA> the Texas flag on the same pole in a subordiante position to the US
 MA> flag.
Time for another civics lesson Mike.

Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes Art. 6139c. Texas Flag Code.
Sec. 1. This article may be cited as the Texas Flag Code.
[ material deleted ]
Sec. 3. (f) The state flag, when carried in a procession with another
flag or flags except the United States flag, should be either on
the marching right, that is, the state flag's right, or, if there
is a line of other flags, in front of the center of that line.
When the state flag is carried in a procession in which the
United States flag is carried, the United States flag should be
on the marching right, that is, the United States flag's right,
and the state flag should be on the United States flag's left.
[ material deleted ]
Sec 3 (i) No flag or pennant other than the United States flag should
be placed above or, if on the same level, to the state flag's
right, that is, the observer's left. When the state and United
States flags are displayed at the same time, they should be flown
on flagpoles of the same height, and the flags should be of
approximately equal size. The United States flag should be
displayed to the United States flag's right, that is, the
observer's left. However, when it is necessary for the state and
United States flags to be flown from the same flagpole, the state
flag should be displayed underneath the United States flag. When
the state flag is displayed on a separate flagpole from the
United States flag, the state flag should be hoisted after the
United States flag is hoisted and lowered before the United
States flag is lowered.
