About Austin

Austin is the capital of Texas, known for its live music scene, its university and the South by Southwest festival. It has become a major technology centre, with large offices and factories from well-known tech and electric-car companies, so investors and remote colleagues often need its local time.

Austin follows Central Time: Central Standard Time (UTC-6) in winter and Central Daylight Time (UTC-5) in summer, the same as Chicago, Dallas and Houston. It is an hour behind New York and two hours ahead of California. Note that Texas is not entirely on one zone, as the far west around El Paso uses Mountain Time.
