Summary

Description
English: The Burnet Flag, used from December 10, 1836 to January 25, 1839 as the national flag of the Republic of Texas. It was replaced by the currently used "Lone Star Flag".
According to C. E. Gilbert in "A Concise History of Early Texas: As told by its 30 historic flags," this flag was adopted by a resolution of the First Congress, enacted and signed by Ira Ingram, speaker of the House and Richard Ellis, president pro tem of the Senate on December 10, 1836 and signed by president Sam Houston. This flag, along with the De Zavala flag, served as an official flag of Texas until the current state flag was officially adopted as the then national flag by the Third Congress of the Republic of Texas held in Houston on January 21, 1839 and signed into law by President Mirabeau B. Lamar on January 25, 1839.
