TEXAS HONOR DAYS
 

DRT promotes the celebration of Texas Honor Days. Members are encouraged to fly the Texas flag on each of these Honor Days. 

Stephen F. Austin’s Birthday [November 3, 1793]

Known as the Father of Texas, Stephen F. Austin carried on his father, Moses’ work to establish the first Texas Anglo-American Colony “The Old 300,” by bringing 300 families to a part of Mexico in what is now known as Texas.  Austin was imprisoned in a Mexican jail for defending the colonist’s rights. He was a man of patience and diplomacy, a “thinker,” who made things happen. Each year a celebration is held at the site of his death in Brazoria County.
