15:46
MAYBE
Checking your clock…
The commute into Energy Corridor is the real start of the pingable day in Houston. Before 08:00 you are writing to a train, a motorbike, or a kitchen. Oil desks start early; a 07:00 local ping is normal, a 21:00 ping is not. Houston still shifts with daylight saving (UTC−6 in January, UTC−5 in July). If you must write outside 08:00–17:00 local, schedule send it. On an ordinary weekday in Houston, treat the desk as reachable only in local business hours.
