A google maps search indicates there’s a single HEB location, not counting the other chains, on the east side of the metro between I-610 and Beltway 8 and I-45 (on both sides of town). That’s ~1/6 of the metro area without easy access to an HEB.
And on the south side between I-610 and the beltway there’s only one HEB between 45 and 90. Thats another huge swath. And that one is on beltway 8 itself.

I think we're working off of different definitions of what the "Houston area" or "metro" is, tbh. It sounds like you're describing the city proper, but not necessarily the metro.
I zoomed out to that extent since that covers (if not a bit more to the west) the OMB definition of the Houston Metro or what most people would likely consider the Greater Houston "area". It probably encompasses more of what would be the Nielsen DMA definition for the market - which is something I deal with regularly as part of my job - and kind of default to when I consider "areas" in general, so I apologize if there's any confusion.
