The Texas House of Representatives approved a joint resolution Tuesday to allow Texas voters to choose whether they would like to permanently live under Daylight Saving Time or Standard Time.
During Daylight Saving Time, Texans turn the clocks forward an hour in March so that spring and summer daylight extends more into the evening and we turn them back to Standard Time in November so that sunrise is a little earlier in the morning.
Standard Time, from November to March, is the time when DST is not in use.
House Joint Resolution 117 will now head to the Senate after passing by a vote of 133-9.
If this passes through the Senate, the choice would be up to Texans on Nov. 5th
