What side of the American flag can you hang the Texas flag?
When displaying the Texas flag alongside the American flag, the Texas flag should be flown at the same height or higher than the American flag. If displayed on a single pole, the American flag should be at the top, with the Texas flag below it. When displayed on separate poles, the Texas flag can be positioned to the right of the American flag when facing the flags. This positioning honors the Texas flag's status as a state flag while maintaining respect for the national flag.

What star is Texas in the US flag?
The star that represents Texas is located in the far right vertical column. It is the star that is 2nd from the top. If you draw a rectangle shape with that particular star being on the left side of the rectangle, you will find that the Texas flag will appear within that rectangle. The Texas flag is always flying when a U.S. flag is flying. The Texas flag just happens to blend in to the U.S. flag until you place a rectangle around it. The Texas flag is the only state flag that is allowed to fly within the U.S. Flag.

Why is the American flag patch wore backwards?
The flag is worn with the appearance of being backwards on soldiers RIGHT arm to symbolize early American armies which had a flag carrier holding our flag high (which looks backwards from one side while correct from the other). The backwardsflag signifies this and gives the perception that every soldier is carrying a flag. Left arm patches are correctly laid. It is worn backwards to make it look like a soldier is marching into the wind carrying a flag and the wind is blowing into the flag. I hope this is more understanding. This is the same reason for astronauts.
