About the time zone in Texas
Texas uses America/Chicago, currently UTC-05:00 (CDT). The live clock above updates every second in your browser.
The far-west El Paso area uses Mountain Time; the rest of the state uses Central Time.
Texas observes daylight saving time, so its offset from UTC shifts by an hour between the warmer and cooler halves of the year.
