Texas recorded 9 physician deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of September 7 through September 13, 2026, representing 5% of the national total. The records included 4 individuals and 5 organizations. NPI deactivation is an administrative registry change and does not, by itself, establish that a clinician or organization has stopped practicing or lost a license.
Credential Breakdown
Family Medicine was the leading retired taxonomy, with 6 records, or 67% of Texas’s total. Emergency Medicine accounted for 2 records, or 22%, while Cardiovascular Disease accounted for 1, or 11%. The distribution shows that the week’s activity was concentrated in Family Medicine rather than spread evenly across the physician categories reported.
Geographic Pattern
Houston and Tomball each recorded 2 deactivations. Lubbock, El Paso and San Antonio each recorded 1. The listed cities therefore account for 7 of the 9 records, while 2 records were associated with other Texas locations. The city pattern reflects the locations attached to the affected NPI records and does not establish a broader local workforce trend.
Overall, this week’s Texas physician deactivations comprised more organizations than individuals, with Family Medicine and the Houston-Tomball area accounting for the largest concentrations in the registry data.
