Texas recorded 638 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 6% of the national weekly total. The registry added 349 new providers this week and has recorded 389 this year. The update includes 508 individuals and 130 organizations. Texas’s concentration signals a large, active behavioral health market, although NPI activity does not confirm active caseloads, staffing levels or appointment availability.

ABA Workforce Mix

The credential summary lists 54 BCBAs and 195 RBTs, including 9 providers identified with dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These categories overlap: dual-credentialed providers are included in the broader BCBA and RBT counts, so they are not mutually exclusive shares of the provider total. The RBT count is substantially larger than the BCBA count, indicating a technician-heavy workforce with comparatively fewer documented supervisors. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, develop treatment plans and monitor clinical quality, that imbalance can constrain how quickly technician growth becomes additional treatment capacity. The registry also includes LPC, LCSW, LMSW and speech-language credentials, showing that the update covers behavioral health broadly, not ABA alone.

Demographics and Organizations

Gender data identifies 434 female providers, 60 male providers and 14 nonbinary providers, corresponding to 85%, 12% and 3%. The listed leading cities are Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Dallas and Frisco, reinforcing the state’s concentration in major metropolitan markets while records also extend across smaller communities. Elizabeth Arredondo LLC appears twice among notable organizations. Action Behavior Centers also appears twice in the provider records, both in Austin, reflecting the presence of a major multi-state ABA operator.

Texas’s update points to strong workforce expansion, but continued BCBA development and geographic distribution will shape whether rising RBT capacity translates into broader ABA access.
