Not really a law but what the heck. Doesn’t Texas have the responsibility to respect their flag?

I was just in Chile a few weeks ago. I said several times how the Chilean flag looks EXACTLY like the state of Texas flag. I mean exactly. Very busy and prosperous country.
Those emoji symbols on my phone being so tiny, that’s an error I could easily make.
