When I went to the
Austin Capitol, I learned that the Texas State Seal is hidden all over the
building. I was able to locate the Seal on the outside corners of the building
and on the tiles set in the floor.
The Texas State
Seal is a circle with a silver star in the center. Surrounding the star is a
live oak branch to the left and an olive branch to the right. The words, ‘State
of Texas ’
curve over the top of the star. The live oak branch represents strength and the
olive branch represents peace. The seal also has a reverse side depicting The
Six flags flown over Texas and the words,
‘Remember the Alamo ’.
The Texas Seal is
used to make a document official and shows it is from the State of Texas .
