    I think George Carlin said "leave symbols to the symbol minded". I'm not going to pretend that I can put it better than that.

    only Texas can. it supposed to represent the federal power over the state or something. Texas can because it was an independent nation recognized by the US before being annexed.

    Ugg why are old topics being brought up again, and Texas shouldn't be allowed to do that if they can.

    No, they can't. If you saw it, it was probably a mistake. It's not rare to see people who want to put up 2 or 3 flag poles for their state, country, and even business, and just accidentally put them all level for convenience.
    Unlike Hawaii, of course.

    During the racial riots in California a couple of students, raised the mexican flag over a high school, in southern california, it was pretty funny, also unnecessary....

    California, hangs it state flag below the federal flag and its un common to see it flying on the same level, and if it is the Federal flag is usually bigger then the State flag.
