Texas recorded 5 behavioral health provider deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of August 24 through August 30, 2026, representing 2% of the national total. All five records were individuals; the update listed 0 organizations. The deactivations were recorded on August 27. NPI deactivation is an administrative status change in the federal registry and does not by itself establish that a provider has stopped practicing or faced a license action.
Credential Breakdown
Mental Health Counselor was the most frequently retired taxonomy, with 2 records, or 40% of Texas’s total. Counselor, Clinical Social Worker and Addiction (Substance Use Disorder) Counselor each appeared once, representing 20% apiece. The credential mix therefore centers on individual behavioral health professionals, with no organization records in this update. These classifications describe the NPI records and should not be interpreted as a direct measure of active clinical capacity.
City Distribution
The five deactivations were distributed across Harlingen, Austin, Dallas, Longview and Commerce, with one record in each city. No city accounted for more than one of the records, so the geographic pattern does not show concentration in a single Texas market. The spread instead reflects a small, dispersed set of administrative changes across the state, although this week’s limited count does not support broader conclusions about regional workforce conditions.
Overall, the Texas update records five individual behavioral health NPI deactivations across four taxonomy categories and five cities, providing a registry snapshot rather than a measure of current provider availability.
