Texas recorded 21 physician-segment NPI deactivations during 2026-W39, representing 14% of the national total. The records comprised 9 individuals and 12 organizations. An NPI deactivation is an administrative registry change; by itself, it does not establish that a provider has stopped practicing or that a license action occurred.
Credential distribution
Family Medicine was the most common taxonomy in the credential summary, with 7 records, followed by Clinical Neurophysiology with 6. Internal Medicine accounted for 2 records, while Dermatology and Ophthalmology had 1 each. The leading categories together make up most of the listed credential activity, but the summary reflects NPI records, including organizations, rather than a count of clinicians currently practicing in those specialties.
City distribution
Addison had the highest city count, with 6 records, followed by Houston with 5. Austin had 2, and Lubbock and Dallas had 1 each. The Addison concentration coincides with the Clinical Neurophysiology records in the provider data, while the Houston entries include several organization records. These clusters describe where deactivated records were listed, not the distribution of active services or the number of providers available locally.
The weekly figures are a snapshot of administrative changes in the federal NPI registry, not a measure of Texas’s practicing physician workforce.
