Most Mexican states do not have an official flag. For these states, a de facto flag is used for civil and state purposes, typically consisting of a white background charged with the state's coat of arms.[1]
At least four states have official flags: Durango, Jalisco, Querétaro and Quintana Roo. Except for Jalisco, each official flag is simply a white background charged with the state's coat of arms.
Two states have provisions in their constitutions explicitly declaring that there shall be no official state flag. These states are Baja California[2] and Campeche.[3]

Instead, Article 3 states that the state's coat of arms can be represented in the form of a flag (puede representarse en forma de Bandera) and gives rules on how the coat of arms shall appear when used in that form. The article specifies that the flag shall consist of the coat of arms on a white background, and gives further physical specifications. Chapter 4 (Articles 7 through 18) gives rules regarding the use of the coat of arms when it is in the form of a flag (en su modalidad de Bandera).
