No, just not on top of the USA flag.
USA flag is to be on top of all others in this
country, The state flags are under the USA flag.

The exception being Texas. Texas' state flag can be flown on the same
level as the US flag.

WHY? What is so special about Texas?

wow, more history classes are required for engineering students.

Texas was admitted into the USA by treaty, Texas was an independent
country, (for a short time) so Texas is an equal to the USA.
Most states in the union were purchased or annexed, i.e. Louisiana
Purchase of 1803 from the French [1]. So the US government owns most
states. The Union annexed even Arizona on February 14, 1912. [2]

Not entirely. Vermont and Hawaii also came in by treaty.

However, there is no exception for Texas in the US Flag Code (except
maybe in the version printed in Texas).

Any sovereign country can have its flag the same level as any other country.
(I hope that?s a given)

Not here. While IN another country sure. HERE, however, ALL flags
must be BELOW that of the US nation's flag.

Having a Texas state flag in let's say California, then California laws
would apply.

So, yes in Texas they can fly the US flag and the Texas flag at the same
level.

Wrong.

However, England's embassy can fly their flag the same level as the US
flag. But they do not out of courtesy.


Not if the embassy is within this country.

Did anyone ever tell you that you're an idiot? Oh, yeah, it's
Dimbulb. Hint: a foreign embassy *IS* sovereign property of that
country. It is *NOT* US property, by treaty.
