Texas recorded 5 nurse deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of Aug. 24–30, representing 8% of the national total. The update included 4 individuals and 1 organization. An NPI deactivation is an administrative status change in the federal registry and does not by itself establish that a nurse or organization has stopped practicing or faced a licensing action.
Credentials and Cities
Nurse Practitioner was the most frequently retired taxonomy, with 2 records, or 40% of the Texas total. Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, Registered Nurse and Family Nurse Practitioner each accounted for 1 record, or 20%. The credential mix therefore spans advanced practice, anesthesia and registered nursing classifications, with no single category beyond Nurse Practitioner appearing more than once.
The deactivations were distributed across five cities: Fort Worth, Pleasanton, Houston, Gonzales and Weslaco, with 1 record in each. That distribution shows no concentration in a single city in this weekly snapshot. It also means the city pattern offers limited evidence of a broader geographic trend, particularly because the number of records is small.
Registry Context
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. The Texas figures describe registry status changes for the week, not confirmed changes in the state’s active nursing workforce, service capacity or patient access.
