First Flag of the Texas Republic Hat

In 1836, the Constitutional Convention marked a pivotal moment in Texas history, as the Lone Star State declared its independence from Mexico. Amidst the fervor, a committee of five distinguished delegates, all signatories of the Texas Declaration of Independence, convened to address a crucial matter – the design of a new flag.

On May 11th, 1836, the convention unanimously approved the elegant flag design crafted by Lorenzo de Zavala, a notable statesman among the delegates. Zavala's intriguing background added a unique dimension to the proceedings; a native of Spain, he had previously served as Mexico's Secretary of the Treasury, Minister to Paris, and President of the Constituent Congress in 1824 before aligning with the Texans.

The decision to choose a flag for the fledgling republic had weighed on the minds of both delegates and the Texan populace. Notably, four months prior, Colonel Fannin, before his capture and execution by the Mexicans, had expressed the need for a distinctive flag to symbolize resistance against Santa Anna's forces.

This historical episode culminated in the creation of the Texas flag, a symbol of defiance and independence that endures in the annals of Texan history.
