@xchic: It's from first Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October. (This year, at the US Border it will be from March 14th to November 7th.)

It's been applied in Mexico since 2002. Some of us have never get used to it and still hate it.

@xchic: In Mexico dates have changed because of political/financial reasons. The government wanted to keep the changes with the USA because of Wall Street timing, but people complained a lot and they decided to apply the changes two weeks after and two weeks before the changes happened in the USA. Only US-border-states will change clocks with the USA now. But the state of Sonora, which (I think) shares a border with Arizona, doesn't make those changes.

It happened in the border, because here in the South continue being the same.
