Dont know if this is real or not, but hell, thoguht I would ask anyway. Are state flags supposed to be flown lower than the USA's?

And on the same note, ive also heard that Texas is the only one that can fly at the same height?

Probably BS, but I wanted to ask anyway.. (im bored)

Yes
I don't know.  But I have heard that.

The US flag is always supposed to have the position of honor. Nothing special about Texas.

if anything it would be because TX is the only state to once be a sovregn, recognized nation.

The US flag has the position of honor, but as far as on the same level?  State (or other flags) can be flown at the same level as the US flag.

When flown with flags of states, communities, or societies on separate flag poles which are of the same height and in a straight line, the flag of the United States is always placed in the position of honor - to its own right.
..The other flags may be smaller but none may be larger.
..No other flag ever should be placed above it.
..The flag of the United States is always the first flag raised and the last to be lowered.


Is Texas's the only state flag allowed to fly at the same height as the US flag?
No, this is an urban legend. All state flags may fly at the same height as the U.S. flag. The U.S. flag must be on its right (the viewer's left), however. Texas's laws are consistent with those of the other states. See Texas flag code.

The only time a flag is higher than the US flag is the Naval Chaplains during services. Thus one nation under god....

+1 To Gloftoe's response, +2 to Mercury's "Nothing special about Texas" Another Trivia question:  It is customary on every Army post and every Navy and Airforce base to lower the flag at night.  This is also true of most places of business.  But there is ONE place where the flag is never (and probably never will be) lowered.  Where is it?

You only lower a flag at night if it does not have special purpose lighting.

Yes IIRC

I thought Texas and BS were synomynous.

BTW it's the "Church Pennant" not a flag per se.

Flown during Church services in progress.  

Rumored to also be used with the "Interrogatory" Pennant in extreme circumstances to change the signal from "What the Hell?" to "Jesus Christ, What the Hell?"

That's awesome. Sounds like BS, but still awesome.
