No, the Burnet Flag, the naval service flag, and the Lone Star Flag were flags of the same political entity, the Republic of Texas.

The Six Flags over Texas refer the six different political entities or sovereigns that have ruled over Texas territory: Spain, France Mexico, Republic of Texas, United States, and Confederate States.

The first flag of Texas was actually a solid medium blue with a single gold star in the center. It didn't even last three years.

President Burnet proposed the Burnet Flag (azure background with single gold star) as the first official National Flag, as well as second flag for naval service. The naval (or war) ensign was similar to US Flag but with a single star on the blue canton. Both were ultimately adopted by the Texas Congress and signed into law on 10 Dec 1836 by President Houston. They served until the Lone Star Flag was adopted on 25 Jan 1839.

It appears that a lot of Texans during that period never realized that the Burnet Flag was the official National Flag, and instead used the Naval Ensign as the flag of the Republic of Texas. That is the flag I have in my avatar.
