Design Your Own Texas Flag

In conjunction with the Vexillology: The Flags of Texas exhibit, the Dallas Historical Society is inviting students from all over the state to show us what Texas means to them, by designing their own Texas Flag.

Throughout our history, flags have represented ideas and values important to Texans. If you were asked to design a new Texas flag, what would it look like?

Use the provided form to create a flag that represents what Texas means to you. Use color and be creative. Turn in your flag at the collection box at the Vexilology exhibit or scan it and email it to education@dallashistory.org. Selected examples will be displayed during the State Fair of Texas and in January, DHS staff will select their favorite examples to be featured on the Dallas Historical website and social media accounts.
