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.
Maryland does not have a state flag pledge. As of 2014, only 17 states had state flag pledges, including Alabama, Texas, Minnesota, and Ohio.
TEXAS Flag is the only United States (State Flag) that is allowed to fly at equal height as the United States Flag. All other State flags must according to Federal Law fly below the top height of the U.S flag.
No, all states have a flag and Michigan, Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky, and Louisiana also have a pledge.
The star that represents Texas is located in the far right vertical column. It is the star that is 2nd from the top. If you draw a rectangle shape with that particular star being on the left side of the rectangle, you will find that the Texas flag will appear within that rectangle. The Texas flag is always flying when a U.S. flag is flying. The Texas flag just happens to blend in to the U.S. flag until you place a rectangle around it. The Texas flag is the only state flag that is allowed to fly within the U.S. Flag.

The single star represents Texas as "The Lone Star State." The five points of the star represent fortitude, loyalty, righteousness, prudence, and broadmindedness, the characteristics of a good citizen of Texas.
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."
