Page 2 of the TEXAS stuff

2 good not 2 continue..................

Texas is the only state to enter the U.S. by TREATY (known as the Constitution of 1845 by the Republic of Texas to enter the Union) instead of by annexation. This allows the Texas Flag to fly at the same height as the U.S. Flag, and may divide into 5 states.

The Capitol Dome in Austin is the only dome in the U.S. which is taller than the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. (by 7 feet).

The name "Texas" comes from the Hasini Indian word "tejas" meaning friends. Tejas is not Spanish for Texas.

The State Mascot is the Armadillo .

The first domed stadium in the U.S. was the Astrodome in Houston.

The Bluebonnet is the state flower of Texas.

and that's what I like about Texas....bragging rites also.........:-)
