The Texas flag often is placed on a flagpole at the same height as the U.S. flag on its flagpole, and it's sometimes said that Texas is the only state that can do this. The explanation given is that Texas-unlike other states-was a Republic when in entered the Union. A (licensed?) tour guide of the Texas capital city of Austin tells this on his tours.
It is an urban legend. All states can fly a state flag at the same height as the United States flag. However, if both flags are on the same flagpole, the U.S. flag code states that the United States flag must be on top.
This urban legend has been spread by word of mouth for many years, but started appearing on the internet by at least 1994 on lists such as "useless facts" and "Texas facts."

Can you fly a flag below the American flag?
Yes. But the only flag that can be flown at the same height is the Texas flag. Because it was a republic every other flag is flow below it if it is being flown.such as: st.flags, business flags, army/military flags, ect. --- Actually it is a common misconception, largely born out of Texas pride - that only Texas can fly their flag at the same height as the American Stars n' Stripes. Any state can fly their fly at the same height. There are no special provisions in the US Flag Code. However it is interesting to note that Texas's own Flag Code states that the state flag should either be flown below the U.S. flag if on the same pole or at the same height as the U.S. flag if on separate poles. Vermont and California were also a republic once upon a time.

No flag can be flown the American flag when on American soil.
Which flag should be larger the Texas flag or the American flag?
According to the US Flag Code, the US Flag should be larger in size and (if flying on the same pole), at the top of the pole. If flying the American flag with a state flag, the American flag needs to be on a taller pole than the state flag and displayed on the flag's right side. If flying them on poles of equal size, then flying the American flag on the flag's right side is correct.

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.
What are the Rules for flying an American flag with another flag from two poles?
It all depends on which flag it is flying along side:For flying with flag other than a different nation's flag:"If the flagpoles are the same height, the American flag should be placed in a position of honor, which is the extreme left, as the flags are most frequently viewed. If there are multiple flagpoles with the center flagpole in taller height, the American flag would fly on the taller, more prominent flagpole.When the flags are flown from adjacent staffs, the American flag should be hoisted first and lowered last. No such flag or pennant may be placed above the flag of the United States or to the flag's right."For flying with the flags of other nations:"When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate flagpoles at the same height. The flags should be approximately equal in size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace.The American flag should never been on the same halyard as another nations flag. When the flags are flown from adjacent staffs, the American flag should be hoisted first and lowered last."Taken from:http://www.americanflagsforsale.com/american-flag-etiquette.aspx-Matt
