In a characteristic display of independence, Texas has made headlines by breaking away from Daylight Saving Time and instituting its own time zone, 'Texas Standard Time' (TST).
This unprecedented move, reportedly a response to the statewide frustration over biannual clock adjustments, positions the Lone Star State in its very own time zone, distinct from the rest of the United States. State insiders said that then new time zone will be styled after the Dark Ages, and would give inquisitors ample time for torturing heretics who voice criticism of the Texas governor.
Reports suggest that the decision has been met with a mix of excitement and bewilderment. Local businesses are quickly adapting, with many extending their operating hours to align with TST. Notably, bars across Texas are reportedly revising their happy hours, humorously claiming that it's always five o'clock in Texas now.
Educational institutions are also adjusting to this new temporal reality. Schools are reported to be starting classes an hour later to accommodate the shift, a change that has been warmly received by parents appreciating the extra hour of sleep.
The reaction from the national and international community ranges from amusement to confusion, as they grapple with the implications of scheduling meetings and calls with 'Texas Time' in mind.
Texans themselves appear to be embracing this change wholeheartedly. Many are quoted as saying that being different is part of the Texan identity, and having a unique time zone is seen as an extension of this ethos.
As the rest of the country continues to oscillate between standard time and daylight saving time, Texas stands alone with its watches perpetually set to a time that is as distinct as the state itself.

A century ago, when DST was introduced, more daylight was a good thing because it meant less use of artificial light and more energy savings. Modern society, with its computers, TV-screens, and air conditioning units, uses more energy, no matter if the Sun is up or not. Today, the amount of energy saved from DST is negligible. Thank you governor Abbott for bring some sensibility to the awkward spring forward and fall back BS!
Are you joking? We go into daylight savings on March 10.
Hahahahahaha! pendejos only hahahahaha!
We are going to be keeping time with the mother land, Mexico.
