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.
Can Texas legally fly the state flag at the same height as the US flag?

If the flag is in a group of flags (on separate poles) it should be in the center and higher up than the rest of the flags. If it's on it's own pole it should be above the rest of the flags and at least the same size as any other flags on it's pole, if not larger.

If the Irish flag flies beside another flag in Ireland why does the Irish flag fly higher?
It is protocol for handling the Irish flag in Ireland. The same applies in many countries with national flags. An Irish flag flying in another country would not be flown highest, whereas the flag of that country might be. It is the national flag of Ireland, so it is of greater importance than any other flag in Ireland, and so it is flown higher than other flags.

No flag is officially allowed to fly higher than the American flag when they are both displayed together. The American Flag Code specifies that the American flag should always be positioned above other flags when flown on the same staff or pole. However, individual state flags or organization flags can be flown higher when displayed on separate staffs or poles.
Are state flags flown at same height as us flags?
State flags may be flown at the same height as the US flag, unless on the same flagpole. There is an urban legend that Texas' flag is the only one that can be, because it was an independent republic before joining the US, but that is false. There are links 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

What day is the flag half mast until noon?
It's half-staff, not half mast (I made the same mistake earlier today). The United States Flag Code calls for the U. S. flag to be flown at half-staff only until noon only on Memorial Day. Every other day on which the flag is flown at half-staff, it is until sunset.
How much lower should the Olympic flag be hung under the U.S. flag?
If on the same halyard, it just has to be lower than the US flag - like in the same spot as would exist a state flag. When on separate poles, the US Flag (when on American soil) will always have preference and be the highest over the others, and no flags are to be flown to the right of the US Flag.
