Texans will turn their clocks back one hour this weekend as the state returns to Standard Time, but the twice-a-year switch could eventually become a thing of the past.
The time change officially takes effect at 2 a.m. Sunday, giving most people an extra hour of sleep but bringing earlier sunsets across the state.
Several Texas lawmakers have introduced measures in recent years to end the clock change, arguing it disrupts sleep schedules and energy use. However, any permanent move — whether to stay on Daylight Saving Time or Standard Time year-round — would still require federal approval.
For now, Texans will continue adjusting twice a year along with most of the country. The next change back to Daylight Saving Time is scheduled for March 8, 2026.
