Observe that the Texas flag is upside down -- some Texas military units flew the state flag upside down during the early part of the War signifying Texas' secession from the Federal Union. Also observe that the Texas flag assumes the senior position with respect to the Confederate 1st National flag -- to understand why, read the preamble to the Constitution of the Confederate States.
Company C, 4th Texas Vols is partnering with the New Mexico Sons of Confederate Veterans to build a Texas Vista site on the Glorieta Battlefield.
