Can I fly a flag or put up a flagpole?
You may display the U.S. flag, the Texas flag, an official flag of a branch of the U.S. military, or one flag with the official insignia of a college or university. None of these needs advance approval.
You may also install a flagpole no more than five feet long, fixed to the front of the house near the main entrance or to the rear. Only two such flagpoles are allowed per residence.
A tall freestanding flagpole in the front or back yard needs the Reviewer’s approval first.
That is a summary in plain words. The passages below are what the documents actually say, and they are the authority.
