The Texas flag has red on the bottom and white on top.

New Guess they each claimed 1/2 :)
The FFOC had three bars, white in the middle :)

BTW the one star is from the "Bonnie Blue Flag", which intially was used as a battle flag before Beauregard's famous variant on the St. Andrew cross.

I see that Georgia has adopted another new flag, this one explicity based on the FFOC:

Now, this should be more objectionable than the original, as the Beauregard "battle flag" represented the Confederate soldier, who in the vast majority of cases owned no slaves, rather than the State, which officially sanctioned slave ownership.

Bonnie Blue Flag:

The first recorded use of the lone star flag dates to 1810. On September 11, 1810 a troop of West Florida dragoons set out for the provincial capitol at Baton Rouge under this flag. They were joined by other republican forces and captured Baton Rouge, imprisoned the Governor and on September 23, 1810 raised their Bonnie Blue flag over the Fort of Baton Rouge. Three days later the president of the West Florida Convention, signed a Declaration of Independence and the flag became the emblem of a new republic. By December 10, the flag of the United States replaced the Bonnie Blue after President Madison issued a proclamation declaring West Florida under the jurisdiction of the Governor of the Louisiana Territory. With this rebellion in mind, this flag was used by the Republic of Texas from 1836 to 1839. On January 9, 1861 the convention of the People of Mississippi adopted an Ordinance of Secession. With this announcement the Bonnie Blue flag was raised over the capitol building in Jackson. Harry McCarthy was so inspired that he wrote a song entitled "The Bonnie Blue Flag" which became the second most popular patriotic song of the Confederacy. The Confederate government did not adopt this flag but the people did and the lone star flags were adopted in some form in five of the southern States that adopted new flags in 1861.

The Texans in their way, stole it and renamed it the "Lone Star".
