The parties involved in the Texas v. Johnson case were Gregory Lee Johnson, the petitioner who was convicted for burning an American flag, and the State of Texas, the respondent. Johnson argued that his actions were protected under the First Amendment as free speech, while Texas contended that the state had the right to prohibit flag desecration to preserve the flag's symbolic value. The case ultimately reached the Supreme Court, which ruled in favor of Johnson.
