I use a dive flag on TX inland waters as infrequently as possible. I found no TX code requirement to display a dive flag. On Corps of Engineers lakes, CE rules require a flag but I don't believe they establish any maximum distance divers can displace from the flag. My experience is the flag in open water tends to attract curious watercraft. I usually anchor the flag close enough to shore to discourage their antics. TX code does regulate boating activity in the vicinity of a dive flag. I've never seen it enforced except in the protected dive area at Lk Travis.
