SAN ANTONIO – Daylight saving time starts Sunday at 2 a.m. when clocks are turned forward one hour, to 3 a.m.
The “spring forward” in time will allow for more light in the evenings.

Arizona and Hawaii are the only two states that don’t participate in daylight saving time.
Daylight saving time for the U.S. starts on the second Sunday in March and ends the first Sunday in November.
The idea for daylight saving time originally came from Benjamin Franklin in 1784.
Daylight saving time foiled a terrorist attack in September 1999. Terrorists from the West Bank, which was on daylight saving time, brought bombs into Israel, which wasn’t on daylight saving time.
The terrorists set the timers on the bombs according to the time for the West Bank, causing the bombs to detonate one-hour sooner than the terrorists in Israel thought they would.
Three terrorists were killed as opposed to the two busloads of people the terrorists were targeting initially.
