The flag of Laredo, Texas is based on the flag of the Republic of the Rio Grande, which was used for 283 days from January 17 to November 6, 1840.

This country was formed by the northeastern Mexican states of Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas.

The flag was no longer used following the defeat of the Republic of the Rio Grande by Mexican troops.

The three stars represent the three states that seceded: Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas.
