Texas recorded 559 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 6% of the national weekly total. The file lists 286 providers added this week and 334 added this year, including 479 individuals and 80 organizations. Texas’s concentration signals a large and active behavioral health market, although NPI records reflect registry activity rather than confirmed hiring, staffing levels, caseloads or appointment availability.

ABA Workforce Mix

The credential summary reports 36 BCBAs, 176 RBTs and 2 providers with dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These categories overlap: the dual-credential providers are included in the broader credential counts and should not be treated as a separate group. The data also reports 102 providers with multiple taxonomies, another indication that registry classifications can describe overlapping roles. The roughly five-to-one RBT-to-BCBA relationship points to substantial technician capacity but a comparatively smaller supervisory pool. For ABA operators, that mix can support direct service growth only if Texas continues adding BCBAs to supervise RBTs, authorize and adjust treatment plans, and maintain clinical quality. The separate credential-text field reports 10 BCBAs and 12 RBTs, underscoring the limits of comparing fields as a complete workforce census.

Demographics and Organizations

Women account for 390 providers, or 81%; men account for 75, or 16%; and nonbinary providers account for 14, or 3%. No notable organization list was supplied, but Mindful Living Center Texas appears in three organization records across Austin and El Paso listings, showing how a provider network can generate multiple NPIs or location records rather than representing three unrelated employers. Houston, Austin, San Antonio, El Paso and Dallas are the leading listed cities.

Texas’s update suggests broad technician growth with supervisory capacity still tighter, making BCBA recruitment and retention central to expanding ABA access statewide.
