MONTGOMERY, TX — On January 25, 1839, Dr. Charles B. Stewart slid across the table, his proposed drawing he hoped to be adopted as the Texas flag. Seated across from him was Mirabeau B. Lamar, President of the Republic of Texas. Lamar then signed the drawing, designating it as the “Official Flag, Republic of Texas.” Dr. Stewart lived just outside Montgomery when he accepted Lamar’s assignment to lead a committee to design an official flag for Texas.
