Description of the flag

Named for Gen. George W. Hockley (1802-1854), Republic of Texas Secretary of War
County Seat: Levelland Area: 908 square miles Pop. (2000): 22,716

When the Retired Senior Volunteer Program realized that Hockley County was without a flag, they proposed to have one that would depict the county's natural resources created in time for the Texas Sesquicentennial. With these criteria in mind, Lonnie Joe Howell, a local artist, was invited to design a flag. It bears, on a white field, four red stars, one in each corner, each bearing a blue-and-white charge. These are, clockwise from the top left: a cotton boll, representing agriculture; the head of a longhorn steer, for ranching; an oil derrick, for mineral wealth; and an open book, for the schools. The center of the flag is occupied by a blue windmill, a symbol of water and water power in Texas. The rudder of the mill shows the Texas State Flag. Around the vanes are the legends, in blue-border yellow block letters, "Texas" and "Hockley County."

Although in use since 1986, there seems to be no record that the flag was officially adopted by the Commissioners' Court.
