Texas recorded 7 nurse deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of Aug. 31 through Sept. 6, 2026, accounting for 9% of the national total. The records include 5 individuals and 2 organizations. NPI deactivation is an administrative status change and does not by itself establish that a nurse or organization has stopped practicing or faced a license action.
Credential Breakdown
Family Nurse Practitioner was the leading retired taxonomy, with 3 records, or 43% of Texas’s total. Nurse Practitioner, Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, Pediatric Registered Nurse and Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner each accounted for 1 record, or 14%. The credential mix is therefore concentrated in family nurse practitioner records, while the remaining deactivations span several nursing roles.
City Distribution
Frisco, Decatur, Hart, McKinney and Azle each had 1 deactivation in the city summary. The provider records also include West Columbia and Helotes, each with 1 deactivation. Because no city contributed more than 1 record in the listed summary, the activity is distributed across multiple Texas communities rather than concentrated in a single location. The organization records were associated with Frisco and Helotes, while the individual records were spread across the other listed cities.
The weekly figures describe changes in federal registry status and should be read as an administrative snapshot, not as a direct measure of Texas’s practicing nurse workforce.
