H.B. No. 1393 proposes to amend the Government Code of Texas to establish that the state will observe daylight saving time year-round, as authorized under federal law. The new legal language specifies that this change applies to both regions of Texas that currently use central standard time and those that use mountain standard time. Furthermore, the bill designates the official time in Texas as "Texas Time."

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, but its implementation is contingent upon the United States Congress passing legislation that allows Texas to observe daylight saving time year-round. If such federal legislation is not enacted, the provisions of this bill will have no effect.
