That would be me.

The main difference in my Texas XPMs and Reed&Juan's XPMs are that his 
have a wider blue band on the left, and a correspondingly larger star. 

In the shield, IMO, their star is too large and the blue band is way
too wide.  

Their Texas trident flag has a more star-like star, but the band is still
too wide.  I don't think there's a good solution; my band is better than
theirs but their star is better than mine. 

So in terms of Texas XPMs, I think the following should be chosen:

Engels flag: Mine.  (They didn't provide one)
Trident flag: I haven't the slightest idea.  They're both OK, I guess.
Shield: I think I prefer mine.  Of course, the *best* solution would be to
        make it Texas-shaped. :-)  The shape of Texas is pretty strongly
        identified with Texan identity down here, and it's also pretty
        similar to the shield shape. Attached is a possible version.
