In 2000 Doyle High and other Texas pharmacy owners heard the news of the successes of the “Heckman groups.”  But the Texans were skeptics—“this deal is too good to be true.”  It took the next three years for the Texas nucleus of interested pharmacists to begin to believe in the compliant pharmacy business model and that it would pay them dividends.  They scheduled a meeting on Super Bowl Sunday 2003 with Heckman and 25 Texas pharmacy owners.  By the spring of 2003 Lone Star Rx was born, becoming the fourth clone to band together.  Over the years Lone Star Rx attracted pharmacies in Oklahoma, New Mexico, Kansas and Nebraska.
