In 1933, Texas State Legislature provided a pledge for the Texas Flag.:  "Honor the Texas Flag of 1836; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one and indivisible."  Unfortunately,  the pledge referred to the 1836 national flag, known as David G. Burnet's flag, instead of the Lone Star Flag..  In 1951, Senator Searcy Bracewell introduced a bill to correct this error; however, the Legislature did not delete the words "of 1836" until 1965.
