About this clock
Horizon City does not keep Texas's usual time
Most of Texas is on Central Standard Time, but Horizon City keeps Mountain Standard Time — 1 hour behind the rest of the state. This is the kind of thing that catches people out, and it is why the zone is resolved from the city’s own coordinates rather than assumed from the state.
Horizon City is currently on standard time. The next change is Sunday, March 14, 2027, when 2:00 am becomes 3:00 am local time.
Horizon City sits at 31.68°N, 106.19°W. For sunrise and sunset there — which do depend on exactly where it is, unlike the clock — see sunrise and sunset in Horizon City.
Clock time against sun time
The clock says the same thing everywhere in Mountain Standard Time, but the sun does not. Over Horizon City it is highest at 11:49 am today — 11 minutes before clock noon.
At 106.2°W, Horizon City sits almost exactly on Mountain Standard Time’s 105° meridian, so on standard time the clock and the sun agree to within a few minutes.
