'''Texas Independence Day''' is on March 2, 1836, when [[Texan]]s adopted the Texas Declaration of Independence and founded the [[Republic of Texas]].

The [[University of Texas]] honors this in [[Austin]] by shining burnt, entirely orange lights from its famous Tower.<ref name="UoT">https://tower.utexas.edu/2024/03/02/light-the-tower-texas-independence-day-4/#:~:text=The%20holiday%20commemorates%20the%20adoption,no%20other%20state%20can%20claim.%E2%80%9D</ref>

“For the proudest of Texans, it’s the most important day of the year,” observes the University's historian Jim Nicar. “It’s a holiday that no other state can claim.”<ref name="UoT"/>
