Surprisingly, this question should have a simple answer, but it doesn't.

According to www.usflag.org...

The colors red, white, and blue did not have meanings for The Stars and Stripes when it was adopted in 1777.

However, the colors in the Great Seal did have specific meanings. Charles Thompson, Secretary of the Continental Congress, reporting to Congress on the Seal, stated:

"The colors of the pales (the vertical stripes) are those used in the flag of the United States of America; White signifies purity and innocence, Red, hardiness & valour, and Blue, the color of the Chief (the broad band above the stripes) signifies vigilance, perseverance & justice."


The colors of the Texas Flag are straight forward and defined.

The State of Texas adopted the flag in 1844. Red means bravery, white means purity, and blue means loyalty.

 

The Texas flag pledge:

Honor the Texas flag
I pledge allegiance to thee,
Texas, one and indivisible.
