Spring Forward<br />
Daylight saving time <strong>2018</strong> in Texas will begin at 2:00 AM on Sunday, <strong>March</strong> 11.<br />
Daylight Saving Time (DST) is often wrongly referred to as “Daylight Savings,” with an “s”<br />
at the end. Other common variations are “Summer Time” and “Daylight-Saving Time.”<br />
The term “Daylight Savings Time” is very commonly used, especially in Australia, Canada and<br />
the United States. It’s likely that the incorrect term “savings” entered the popular vocabulary<br />
because it’s so often used in everyday contexts, like “savings account.” At the beginning of<br />
the DST period in the spring, clocks are moved forward, usually by 1 hour. When DST<br />
ends in fall (autumn), clocks are turned back again. DST does not add daylight, but it gives<br />
more usable hours of daylight. In that sense, DST “saves” daylight, especially during early<br />
spring. Standard time refers to time without DST.<br />
