Dr. Tony Jacob Releases The Ultimate Guide to Investing in Texas

New e-book reveals seven proven principles for success in the Lone Star State

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Investor and entrepreneur Dr. Tony Jacob today announced the launch of his latest e-book, The Ultimate Guide to Investing in Texas. The guide draws from his journey growing an optometry practice into the largest private sale in Texas optometry history and building a portfolio of more than 250 companies across multiple industries.

Through candid insights and real-world examples, the guide explores how investors can succeed in one of America's fastest-growing markets by focusing on relationships, disciplined strategy, and long-term vision. "In Texas, business is fundamentally relational. The deals that create the most value are rarely those that emerge from purely transactional interactions. Instead, they grow out of genuine connections, shared values, and mutual trust developed over time," said Dr. Tony Jacob.

Key Lessons from The Ultimate Guide to Investing in Texas include:

• Relationships first: Meaningful connections and trust often create better deals than transactional networking.
• People over projects: Founders with emotional maturity and adaptability outperform even the most polished financial models.
• Simplicity wins: The best investments can be explained in a single, clear sentence.
• Think long-term: Patient capital and disciplined growth strategies outperform short-term plays.
• Diversify within Texas: The state's diverse economy—spanning energy, real estate, consumer goods, and wellness—offers natural risk protection.
• Leverage pro-business advantages: Texas's low taxes, central location, and business-friendly policies provide structural growth benefits.
• Maintain discipline: A strict 20% return threshold ensures investments meet or exceed market standards.

Together, these lessons emphasize the value of discipline and long-term thinking in Texas's fast-moving markets. As Dr. Jacob explains, "Run your business like it's not going to be sold, but build it to sell it."

The e-book also features examples from Dr. Jacob's portfolio, including Austin-based consumer brands, Dallas real estate ventures, and mineral rights investments supporting U.S. energy production.

The Ultimate Guide to Investing in Texas is now available for download, providing investors with a clear framework for navigating one of the country's most dynamic markets.
