On the left side in a vertical panel is the word, "Texas," in white-face Gothic on a shaded background. The wording, "United States Postage," appears in a panel across the bottom of the stamp in white-face Gothic on a dark background. To the left of the center above the bottom panel, in dark Gothic lettering, is the word "Statehood," and the dates "1845–1945," in two lines. In the upper right corner is the denomination, "3¢," in dark Gothic.
