Mast analysis

Mast interpretation

Flags of the State of Texas and the United States of America are ordered to fly at half-staff on Friday, September 11, 2026, for Patriot Day. The order applies across Texas and calls for flags to be lowered in observance of the day of remembrance.

The lowered flags cover state agencies and, by the plain language of the notice, extend to individuals, businesses, municipalities, counties and other public settings throughout the state. The observance runs for the full day on September 11, 2026.

Patriot Day marks the annual remembrance of the September 11 attacks. Flags should be displayed at half-staff for the day in accordance with the directive.
