I would do it while the plant is dormant, but check with a local nursery to check conditions in your area.

RE: Pruning a Hibiscus
I've always pruned my hibiscus in late January or February. I also live in Houston. Mine are potted patio plants. A friend of mine had one in the ground and it got completely out of hand leaning and spreading till it took over too much space. She took the attitude "If it dies it will just be dead" and pruned that rascal back to about 8 inches. That turned out to be a very good thing. I was beautiful the following year and shaped nicely.
