Texas recorded 15 deactivations among Behavioral Health Providers during the week of September 7-13, 2026, accounting for 9% of the national total. The records include 13 individuals and 2 organizations. An NPI deactivation is an administrative change in the federal registry and does not, by itself, establish that a provider has stopped practicing or faced a licensing action.
Credentials and Cities
Professional Counselors were the largest retired taxonomy, with 4 records, followed by Clinical Social Workers with 3. Mental Health Counselors, Specialists and Addiction (Substance Use Disorder) Counselors each accounted for 2 records. Houston led the city breakdown with 3 deactivations, while Richardson had 2. Dallas, Lewisville and Corpus Christi each had 1.
Distribution
The records span several behavioral health roles and locations rather than concentrating overwhelmingly in one credential or city. Houston and Richardson together accounted for 5 of the 15 records, while the remaining listed deactivations were distributed among other Texas communities, including Dallas, Lewisville and Corpus Christi. The organization records were located in Jersey Village and Midlothian, adding to the geographic spread. Because registry deactivations describe NPI status changes, this weekly count should be read as an administrative measure of registry activity, not a direct measure of provider departures, workforce capacity or patient access.
