This might be a double definition.

'texas' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'represented by one' is the second definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'is' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for star that I've seen before include "Eg, Antares" , "Heavenly apparition" , "A heavenly body or film favourite" , "Outstanding entertainer" , "Chaste, pure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
