Did Charles Stewart Design the Texas Flag?

"Did Charles Stewart design the Lone Star Flag? Though it cannot be said that he did not, the evidence presented so far to support this claim is certainly not persuasive."

Drs. Robert Maberry and Whitney Smith, both preeminent vexillologists who have studied the origins of the Texas flag, sent a letter to the Texas House Committee on Culture, Recreation and Tourism in the spring of 2009 flatly refuting the claim by Stewart's partisans that he was the flag's designer.
