Dallas County runs on America/Chicago, which puts the city UTC −5 from Coordinated Universal Time right now.

Dallas County is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC −5 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 1 November 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
