AIP-Texas is a growing group of independent pharmacist investors from within Texas Pharmacy Association.
During the 2004 Texas Pharmacy Association Annual Meeting & Expo, pharmacists responded to growing threats to independent pharmacy by uniting to ensure the future of the independent pharmacy by uniting to ensure the future of the practice. As the fastest-growing network investing in the future of independent pharmacy in Texas, our goals are simple:
- Secure our professional future through vigorous advocacy in the legislation and regulation of Texas pharmacy; and

In 2011, the investors voted to incorporate and become an affiliate of Texas Pharmacy Association.
