Daylight Saving Time (DST) was first implemented in Texas during World War I as a measure to conserve fuel. It was adopted again during World War II and became more widely used in the 1970s during the energy crisis. In 1975, Texas officially adopted DST, aligning with the Uniform Time Act, which standardized the practice across the U.S. Today, Texas observes DST from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November, although there have been discussions about potentially abolishing it.
