Texas was an independent country from the end of the Texas War for Independence from Mexico until 1845 when it became a state. The country was known as the Republic of Texas. Before that, it was a territory of Spain, France and Mexico. In 1861, Texas joined the Confederate States of America. So Texas has flown six flags over its territory: those of Spain, France, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the Confederate States of America, and the United States.
