Texas Time Change 2025: When to Set Your Clocks and If It’ll Ever End

Alright, Texas, grab your coffee (or something stronger). The clocks are about to mess with us again. This Sunday, November 2, 2025, we fall back an hour. That means one glorious extra hour of sleep, and a week of your microwave clock judging you.

Why Texas Still Changes the Clocks

Even though the Texas Legislature passed a bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent, Uncle Sam said, “Not so fast.” Federal law still requires states to observe the switch unless they opt out entirely, like Arizona and Hawaii did.

Will “Texas Time” Ever Happen?

Maybe. The Texas Time Bill is waiting for Congress to change the rules. The proposed Sunshine Protection Act would let states stay on Daylight Saving Time year-round, but it’s been stuck in Washington longer than your grandpa’s F-150 project truck. Until that passes, we’re stuck flipping clocks like flapjacks.

Quick History Lesson (Blame Ben Franklin)

The guy on the quarter, Benjamin Franklin, dreamed this whole thing up back in 1784, supposedly to save candles. A century later, England and others actually made it law during World War I. Fast forward to 2025, and we’re still the ones losing sleep.

The Bottom Line

• Time change: Sunday, November 2, 2025, at 2 a.m.
• What to do: Set clocks back an hour (or let your phone handle it).
• Why: Because the government said so.
• When it’ll stop: When Congress finally agrees, don’t hold your breath.

So yeah, Texas, we’ll “fall back” this November… again. But one day, we might just be living on Texas Time, and that’ll be worth toasting to.
