The Texas Year-Round Standard or Daylight Saving Time Measure was not on the ballot in Texas as a legislatively referred state statute on November 5, 2019.
The ballot measure would have asked voters to observe standard time year-round or observe daylight saving time (DST) year-round. The result would have been dependent upon voter approval of a constitutional amendment at the same election—the Provide for Daylight Saving Time Referendum Amendment.[1]
If voters elected to observe standard time year-round, the state would have begun to observe standard time year-round on January 1, 2020.[1]
If voters elected to observe daylight saving time (DST) year-round, the state would have begun to practice DST year-round if Congress passed a law allowing states to observe DST year-round.[1]
