2019 is when it will become a state
a star would be added to the u.s. flag for every state admitted to the union
A star representing Puerto Rico would be added to the US flag only if Puerto Rico were to become a State in the Union. At present it is a self-governing territory of the United States, not a State. The option to seek statehood has failed to win a majority in several plebiscites held in Puerto Rico, so, for the time being, there will be no star representing Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico would be represented by an additional star on the US flag if and only if it were to become a state and join the Union. So, far, that option has been voted down by the people of Puerto Rico when they have had opportunities to vote on that possibliity.

Texas would be such state.
it hasn't been annexed yet. "Annex" is when a state is added to the United States. Puerto Rico would be the 51st state. Right now it is commonwealth of the United States. It gets benefits and protection from the U.S. but it isn't considered a state, but it isn't independent either.
That it would be a Free State.
California's request to be admitted into the Union caused problems because the state wanted to be admitted as a free state. If the government allowed that it would have upset the balance of slave and free states.
Yes, Puerto Rico is a US dependent territory, but it does has its own flag. It's design features five horizontal bands of alternating colors red and white, being the top and bottom bands red, and an isosceles triangle with its base at the hoist and a five pointed star in the center of the triangle. This design was unveiled in 1892 and, with a few variations, it's the same that remains until our days.
