1. In the 50 states Texas is ranked where by its size?

By size, Texas is ranked No. 2, behind only Alaska.

2. Name the flags of countries that have flown over Texas?

Spain (1519–1821), France (1685–1690), Mexico (1821–1836), the Republic of Texas (1836–1845), the Confederate States of America (1861–1865), and the United States of America (1845–1861; 1865–present). That is why the amusement park is called Six Flags.

3. How did Texas get its name, and what does it mean?

Texas gets its name from the Hasenai Confederacy, an Indian confederation of Caddo-speaking Indian tribes, and the name is a Caddo word meaning "friends" or "allies".
