Duane Smith began organizing the Cross Timbers Chapter in late 2006. Many of the first members were Parker County residents who were formerly members of the North Central Chapter. The chapter was approved by the Native Plant Society state board in January 2007 and held its first official meeting the same month at Harberger Hill Community Center.
