Texas recorded 12 behavioral health provider deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of Sept. 21–27, accounting for 6% of the national total. The records comprise 11 individuals and one organization. These figures describe administrative changes to registry status, not necessarily changes in clinical practice or availability of care.
Credentials and locations
Professional Counselors were the largest credential group, with three records. Clinical Social Workers and Addiction (Substance Use Disorder) Counselors each accounted for two. The summary also lists one BCBA and one Specialist. Houston had the most deactivations, with three, followed by Dallas with two. El Paso, San Antonio and Round Rock each had one. The listed credentials and cities show some concentration in a few categories and locations, but the counts are small and do not establish a broader pattern across Texas’s behavioral health workforce.
Registry context
The credential summary does not account for every record in the weekly total: the listed categories are not a complete breakdown of all deactivated providers. The provider records include other taxonomies, such as Psychologist, Speech-Language Pathologist and RBT. NPPES deactivation is an administrative status change; it does not by itself indicate a license action or that a provider has stopped practicing. CMS removes names, addresses and taxonomy from most deactivated records, while Hipa.ai retains names from public CMS files captured before deactivation.
This weekly snapshot describes registry deactivations in Texas and should be read as a status update, not a measure of active workforce or service capacity.
