First Flag of the Republic 1836

At the first constitutional Convention, 5 delegates, all signers of the Texas Declaration of Independence, chose a design by Lorenzo de Zavala for the first flag of Texas. He was a delegate and the most accomplished statesman present. De Zavala was born in Mexico, served as Mexico's Secretary of the Treasury, Minister to Paris and as President of the Constitutional Congress in 1824 before siding with the Texans. This flag may have been inspired by Colonel Fannin's request: "Give us a flag to fight under, as unlike theirs as possible ... in time to hoist it in defiance to Santa Anna."
