Texas recorded 743 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 7% of the national weekly total. The state added 418 new providers this week, giving Texas one of the largest concentrations of registry activity and underscoring its importance as a behavioral health and ABA market. The provider base includes 616 individuals and 127 organizations, indicating growth across both clinicians and service entities.

ABA Workforce Mix

The registry reports 47 BCBA credentials and 272 RBT credentials, including 12 dual credentials held by providers listed as both BCBA and RBT. These categories are not mutually exclusive: credential fields can overlap, and the counts should not be treated as separate shares of the 743-provider total. Even with that limitation, the much larger RBT count points to a direct-service workforce that substantially exceeds the identified supervisory workforce. Because BCBAs oversee RBTs, treatment planning and clinical quality, the pattern suggests that supervision capacity could constrain how quickly Texas providers convert workforce growth into expanded ABA services.

Demographics and Provider Activity

Gender data lists 524 female providers, 68 male providers and 24 nonbinary providers, corresponding to 85%, 11% and 4%. Those counts total 616, matching the number of individual providers rather than the full provider count, which also includes organizations. Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Katy and Dallas are the leading cities in the update.

Educare Community Living Corporation - Texas appears 8 times, with a punctuation variant appearing 3 times; Educare Community Living Corporation - Gulf Coast appears twice, and Palo Pinto County Hospital District appears 3 times. The combination of broad organizational activity, rapid RBT growth and comparatively fewer BCBAs suggests Texas may see improved ABA access alongside continuing pressure to build its supervisory pipeline.
