Texas recorded 10 behavioral health provider deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of August 17 through August 23, 2026, representing 6% of the national total. The records include 9 individuals and 1 organization. An NPI deactivation is an administrative registry change and does not by itself establish that a provider has stopped practicing or faced a licensing action.
Credentials and Cities
Professional Counselors and RBTs each accounted for 3 deactivations, followed by Speech-Language Pathologists with 2. Clinical Social Workers and BCBAs each accounted for 1. The credential mix spans counseling, applied behavior analysis, speech-language services and social work rather than concentrating in a single behavioral health discipline.
El Paso and Rowlett were the leading cities, with 2 deactivations each. Katy, Grapevine and Plano each had 1. The city distribution shows some activity in El Paso and Rowlett, but the records otherwise extend across several Texas locations, limiting what this week's count can indicate about a broader geographic pattern.
Registry Context
The deactivated records include 1 organization and 9 individual entries, with taxonomy fields identifying Professional Counselors, RBTs, Speech-Language Pathologists, a Clinical Social Worker and a BCBA. CMS removes names, addresses and taxonomy information from most deactivated records, while Hipa.ai retains a name cache from public CMS files captured before deactivation. This update describes NPI registry status changes, not confirmed changes in clinical availability or workforce capacity.
