Like Texas lawmakers, Americans are split on whether they want to adopt standard time or daylight saving year-round. Nearly half say they would prefer to have standard time the entire year, and 24% say they would prefer daylight saving time all year, Gallup reported. The rest would prefer to keep the status quo.

There are bills filed in the state legislature that would make standard time permanent and other legislation that would make daylight saving time permanent all year round. Jack spoke with a state lawmaker who filed bills to do both.
