Someone is pulling your leg - we don't have a law like that.

I just found this a bit odd. I know there is some history of wars with Mexico and the such, but Texas is part of the United States. Kids in the northeast don't pledge allegiance to the original 13 colonies.

But the difference is that Texas declared independence from Mexico BY ITSELF and won a war to free itself. So we have a little more pride in our state than most.
