About the time in Richmond
Sunrise today lands at 06:55 and sunset at 07:56 local time, giving 13h 00m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (29.58, -95.76) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Richmond.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Richmond day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 14:00–22:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Richmond follows the civil time used across its region of United States; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
