On this day in 1839, the Republic of Texas Congress adopted the Texas coat of arms -- a white star of five points on an azure ground encircled by olive and live oak branches.
The national seal bore these arms encircled by the words Republic of Texas. In 1845 the designation was altered from Republic to State.
