Texas: Bigger Than You Think (Especially When It Comes to Time Zones)
Most of Texas is chillin' in the Central Time Zone. You know, where normal people live. But then, there's this little rebellious corner of the state - El Paso, Hudspeth, and parts of Culberson counties - that decided to be all different and hang out in the Mountain Time Zone. It's like those kids in high school who always wore black.
Tip: Don’t skip the details — they matter.
Daylight Saving Time: Texas Edition
Now, here's where things get even more complicated. Most of Texas follows Daylight Saving Time, which means springing forward and falling back like the rest of the country. But those rebellious counties in the Mountain Time Zone? They've got their own little daylight saving time schedule. It's like a never-ending time zone rodeo.
QuickTip: Slow down if the pace feels too fast.
