Texas stands out as the only U.S. state over which the flags of six distinct sovereign nations have historically flown: Spain, France, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the Confederate States of America, and the United States. Unlike other states that generally entered the Union after first becoming territories, Texas uniquely joined directly as a state through a congressional joint resolution of annexation, bypassing traditional territorial processes. Officially admitted to the Union on December 29, 1845, as the 28th state, Texas has since evolved into a powerhouse of entrepreneurship, now home to an estimated 3,517,343 small businesses thriving in the Lone Star State.
