[US] Texas compounding pharmacies — any recommendations?

I am in Texas and finally past the awkward early stage, down 13 lbs and feeling like it is actually working for me this time. I am trying to figure out how others in this state handle getting their supply and whether local compounders are worth the hassle versus shipping options. Anyone here from Texas willing to share what their experience has been like, without naming specific places?

Not in Texas, so take this with a grain of salt, but shipping was way less hassle for me than driving to a local spot. Curious whether the heat down there makes you nervous about cold packs in transit though

How far are you from the nearest one? I'm out in the sticks so local pickup meant a two hour round trip, shipping won for me purely on distance

Curious whether you called around first or just went straight to shipping. I skipped the local calls entirely and have wondered if I missed anything.

Curious whether the local waits you all hit were for pickup or just for the pharmacy to actually fill it. I'm near Austin and have been weighing the drive against a box on my porch.

I'm in Tucson too and never bothered with local compounders, shipping just fit my schedule better. Curious whether the Texas folks find the drive to a pharmacy worth it or if shipping wins there too.

Shipping was my pick too after a couple of Austin-area places quoted me a wait that would've blown past my next dose.

The multi-week waits you all keep mentioning are exactly what has me leaning shipping. Curious whether anyone in here actually found a local spot with a turnaround short enough to make it worth it.

Curious whether you called around before deciding, because the wait times people mention here make me wonder if local is even worth trying. Shipping has been my only route so far and I have had no gaps.

How far past the awkward stage are you? I'm in the same spot and still deciding whether the local turnaround is worth it.

Shipping was the only thing that stayed predictable for me over the long haul, local places kept shifting their pickup windows.

Only 5 down here so still early for me, but the turnaround thing is what worries me about going local. Did you ever figure out why the two places gave you different timelines?

Curious whether the local places you called were upfront about wait times when you asked, because mine only told me after I'd already paid.

What pushed me toward shipping was the refill timing, not the pharmacy itself. Local pickup sounds nice until you're the one calling around to see who has stock this month.

Curious whether the shipping folks here ever worry about cold chain in a Texas summer. Mine sat on a hot porch for a few hours once and I spent the rest of the day second-guessing it.

curious whether you've actually called around to check stock before committing to a local one. I'm near Fort Worth and got tired of playing phone tag every refill, so I stopped bothering with compounders here.

Local places near me were fine until the refill that never came, so I switched to shipping and stopped planning my week around a pharmacy counter. Curious whether you'd still want a local backup on hand or just go all in on delivery

How often were you actually calling around? I'm only about 10 lbs in and haven't hit a stock problem yet, so I'm wondering if the hassle shows up later or if I've just been lucky

Local pickups worked for me for a while but the drive got old. Do you have a compounder within reasonable distance or would it be a haul either way?

Curious whether you're in a bigger metro or out where the local options thin out, since that seemed to be the whole ballgame for the folks above. I'm at 43 down and honestly the shipping question was never about convenience for me, it was about whether I could count on the same source month to month.
