Texas recorded 6 behavioral health provider deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of August 10 through August 16, 2026, representing 4% of the national total. The records include 5 individuals and 1 organization. An NPI deactivation is an administrative change in the federal NPPES registry and does not by itself establish that a provider has stopped practicing or that a license action occurred.
Credentials and Locations
The retired taxonomy records were distributed across five categories, each appearing once: Day Training/Habilitation Specialist, Clinic/Center, Counselor, Professional Counselor and Mental Health Counselor. The organization record was classified as Clinic/Center. The individual records included the remaining categories, while one individual was listed with an RBT taxonomy that was not among the leading credential categories.
San Antonio had the largest city concentration, with 3 deactivations. Austin, Santo and Houston each had 1. San Antonio therefore accounted for half of the Texas records, while the remaining records were spread across three cities. The limited volume and mixed taxonomy profile show a localized cluster in San Antonio, but do not establish a broader geographic or workforce trend.
Registry Context
The deactivated records cover enrollment dates from 2006 through 2024 and deactivation dates from August 11 through August 13, 2026. CMS generally removes names, addresses and taxonomy information from deactivated records; retained name data may come from public CMS files captured before deactivation. These records describe NPI status changes, not confirmed changes in active behavioral health service capacity.
