Solid blue with a white star in the middle. It was the original flag of the Republic of Texas.

I have that flag and fly from time to time, but I’ve always thought it was called the Bonnie Blue Flag as it’s referred to in the song “We Are a Band of Brothers”, an 1861 marching song associated with the Confederate States of America.
