Sunrise today lands at 06:12 and sunset at 06:56 local time, giving 12h 44m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (22.99, -98.12) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Santa María.
Santa María runs on America/Monterrey, which puts the city UTC −6 from Coordinated Universal Time right now.

Around 148 people live in Santa María, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
