What time is it in Horizon City, Texas?

Most of Texas is on Central Daylight Time, but Horizon City keeps Mountain Daylight 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 daylight saving time. The next change is Sunday, November 1, 2026, when 2:00 am becomes 1:00 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.

The clock says the same thing everywhere in Mountain Daylight Time, but the sun does not. Over Horizon City it is highest at 12:57 pm today — 57 minutes after clock noon.

A time zone is fifteen degrees of longitude wide, so a city near its eastern edge sees the sun peak well before noon by the clock and one near the western edge well after. Horizon City sits at 106.2°W, toward the western side of its zone, which is why the sun stays up later here than the clock suggests. Daylight saving adds another hour on top of that until the clocks change.
