Voluntary prayer is withheld during three short windows in New Caney today: While the sun rises (6:54 AM – 7:09 AM); When the sun is at its highest (1:13 PM – 1:23 PM); While the sun sets (7:38 PM – 7:53 PM). Obligatory prayers being made up are a separate question — ask a scholar.
In New Caney today, Asr begins at 4:59 PM by the standard position (Shafi‘i, Maliki, Hanbali) and at 6:01 PM by the Hanafi position. The standard position starts Asr when an object's shadow equals its own length; the Hanafi position waits until twice its length. Both are transmitted positions, and the gap between them changes with the season and the latitude.
These times use the Islamic Society of North America method with the Standard (Shafi‘i, Maliki, Hanbali) position for Asr. The method sets the sun-depression angles for Fajr and Isha; different methods can differ by several minutes, which is why the one in use is named on the page rather than left implicit.
They are computed astronomically from New Caney's coordinates and the America/Chicago timezone, and are typically within a minute or two of a local mosque timetable. Where they differ, your mosque is the one to follow — it may apply a local precaution this calculation does not.
