TEXAS HONOR DAYS
 

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

 Texas Statehood Day [February 19, 1846]

The legal entry of Texas into the Union was 29 December 1845, but the decade-old Republic of Texas did not formally transfer the authority to the new State of Texas until 19 February 1846.

The Texans had until the end of the year in 1845 to accept the annexation as one of the states of the United States of America.  They waited until 29 December 1845 to accept the terms, independent to the end.  The formal transfer of authority from the Republic of Texas took place 19 February 1846 at the log capitol in Austin with President Anson Jones presiding.  On this day we celebrate the end of the Republic of Texas.
