Yes. Miami follows Eastern Time, while Houston uses Central Time. Miami is one hour ahead of Houston.

For example, when it is 9:00 AM in Houston, it is 10:00 AM in Miami. Both cities normally change their clocks for daylight saving time on the same dates, so the one-hour difference generally remains throughout the year.
