Leslie Doggett Industries Expands TX Footprint

One of the largest family-owned businesses in Houston, Leslie Doggett Industries, recently expanded its footprint in the Austin region with new dealership acquisitions, adding more than $120 million in annual sales to its revenues approaching $2 billion. Through its heavy-duty truck division, Doggett acquired dealerships for Freightliner, Western Star and Detroit Diesel from the Austin Freightliner Group of commercial dealerships previously owned by the Jay Hendrix Family.

Financial terms of the acquisitions in Austin, Georgetown and Buda were not disclosed. The acquisitions from Austin Freightliner Group complement Doggett’s existing footprint of Freightliner dealerships in San Antonio, El Paso and cities in the Rio Grande Valley including Laredo, Pharr and Brownsville.
