The Republic of Texas was a soverign state in North Ameica between the United States and Mexico that existed from 1836 to 1845. Formed as a break-away republic from Mexico as a result of the Texas Revolution, the nation claimed borders that encompassed an area that included all of the present U.S. state of Texas, as well as parts of present-day New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, and Wyoming, based upon the Treaties of Velasco between the newly created Texas republic and Mexico. Texas became the 28th state of the United States on 29 December 1845, and is the only state of the 50 states of the United States which is allowed to fly its state flag on the same level as the flag of the United States. All other 49 states must fly their state flags at a lower level than the U. S. flag, although one frequently sees this rule of flag etiquette broken because so many people in this country are ignorant of the rules governing the display of flags. Yes Texas is a state, but at one time it was a country (The Republic of Texas). That is the reason the Texas flag is flown at the same level as the US Flag.

Texas by a considerable margin.However, limiting it to just the contiguous states is cheating a bit: if Texas were divided equally into two new states, both California and Montana would be larger. However, Alaska (which isn't one of the contiguous 48) is so much larger than Texas that if Alaska were divided into two equal portions, each of them would still be bigger than Texas.Texas
