Texas recorded 11 NPI deactivations among behavioral health providers during the week of March 16-22, 2026. This total represents 6% of the national deactivations in this category for the period. The deactivations included 10 individual providers and 1 organization.
Credential and City Trends
Among the individual deactivations, several taxonomies were equally represented. Psychologists, Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), Pastoral Counselors, and Addiction Counselors each accounted for 2 deactivations, making up 18% of the state's total for the week. Additionally, one Specialist/Technologist NPI was deactivated, representing 9%. This distribution across multiple behavioral health specialties indicates varied administrative updates rather than a concentration in a single provider type.
Geographically, the city of Houston recorded the highest number of deactivations with 3 providers. Other cities, including Kingwood, Austin, Colleyville, and Bryan, each saw 1 deactivation. The concentration in Houston is notable, while other deactivations were spread across different regions of the state.
NPI deactivations are administrative updates in the federal registry and do not inherently indicate a license action or that a provider has ceased practice.
