In the US it should. It is the flag of the United States. There are certainly no other national flags that should ever be flown above the US flag anywhere within the US. It would be like saying that the other country has preeminence over the US, even in US territory. That would be ignorant and disrespectful, and possibly even illegal. Can you imagine going to any other country, and flying the US flag there, above the flag of that country? It may not be a formal declaration of war, but in the eyes of many it would be very close.

How is the Texas flag flown with the US flag?

Any state flag should be flown below or level with the US Flag, but never above it. If it is on the same level it should be on the right, this includes Texas. The rumor that Texas is the only state that is allowed to fly at level with the US Flag is just that a rumor and an urban myth.

Is the American flag supposed to be flown higher than other flags?

This will all depend on which flag is flying alongside or below the American flag. If being flown with flags of other nations, they should all be raised to the same height and are never to be flown on the same pole. If being flown with a state, city or organizational flag, the US flag will fly above the other flag in a larger size. On most standard sized flagpoles, the American flag will be a 3'x5' flag and the other flag will be a 2'x3' flag. If the US flag is flying along a different flag on separate flagpoles, the flags can be of equal height but the US flag will then need to fly on the extreme left of the other flags. This left side is known to be a prominent flag. When flown with flagpoles displaying non-national flags, the American flag will be raised first and lowered last. There is a link below.
