You could use an informat to translate the state name into a minute offset :

 

proc format;
invalue timeZone
"TX" = -60
"NY" = 0
OTHER = 0
;
run;

data have;
infile datalines dsd dlm=".";
input STATE :timeZone. (START END) (:MDYAMPM.);
TX_start = intnx("MINUTE",START, STATE);
TX_end = intnx("MINUTE", END, STATE);
format TX_: dateampm.;
datalines;
TX. 02/07/16 01:59 AM. 02/07/16 02:02 AM.

Is there any chance you're going to be dealing with Texas times in the El Paso region? El Paso is Mountain Time zone.

 

if you have the SAS supplied SASHELP.Zipcode data set (or download it) there is time offset and daylight savings time information by Zip code that may be of use.
