Time Zone & Business Hours — Dallas
Dallas runs on Central Time — CST (UTC−6) in winter and CDT (UTC−5) in summer — one hour behind New York. The Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex is home to more Fortune 500 headquarters than any US metro outside New York City, with AT&T, ExxonMobil, and American Airlines among them.
Dallas follows the standard US Central Time daylight saving schedule. Because Texas sits near the southern edge of the Central timezone, sunrise and sunset times shift noticeably between CDT summers and CST winters — something that affects everything from outdoor work schedules to after-school sports.
