A Texas flag waves in the breeze over the Evergreen Cemetery in Victoria on Tuesday. It was 169 years ago today that delegates at Washington-on-the-Brazos signed the Texas Declaration of Independence from Mexico.

I got 9 out of 10 (missed number 2)! Do I win the chicken-fried steak dinner?

I left Texas in 1921, twelve years before I was born. Do I have to take the test...
To: tarheelswamprat
With freedom fries, Texas toast, and cream gravy!
Just print out the test, with your answers, and take it to your nearest cafe.

Mrs Feckless, an Ohio native by birth, remarked to me once about the abundance of Texas flags all over the state. No other state I have ever been to has it's flag displayed more. I told her if hers didn't look so much like the PR flag they'd probably fly it more.
During Desert Storm I saw almost as many Texas flags on vehicles as US flags (including my own).

Several people have missed question # 2. It is flawed in that it has 2 answer choices labeled "c". Anyway, James K. Polk is the correct answer. LOL!

6): In October 1876, Texas opened its first public institution of higher learning. What is it called today?

Missed one. I thought UT was before A&M.
Question 2 is a bust. The answer is D. Harrison died without accomplishing a thing as President.

The sad thing is today in Texas public schools Cinco De Mayo is more celebrated than Texas Independence Day. Seriously.
