The Texas State Flag


Brothers Lorenzo DeZavala (Independence Lodge 3) and David G. Burnet (Holland Lodge 1) designed early versions of what is now the Texas state flag.  In 1839, Texas Republic President Mirabeau B. Lamar (Harmony Lodge 6 of Galveston) commissioned Brother Charles B. Stewart (Montgomery Lodge 25) to design the state flag that flies over Texas today.
