Texas recorded 784 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 8% of the national weekly total. The file reports 394 new providers this week and 463 this year. That concentration points to substantial registry activity in a large behavioral health market, but NPI records do not establish hiring, staffing levels, caseloads or appointment availability.

ABA workforce mix

The credential summary lists 54 BCBAs, 230 RBTs and 6 providers with dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These counts overlap: dual-credential providers may be included in the BCBA and RBT totals, so the groups are not mutually exclusive. The RBT count is more than four times the BCBA count, suggesting a broad technician workforce alongside a smaller pool of potential clinical supervisors. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, growth in technician registrations alone does not show whether supervisory capacity is keeping pace. The separate credential-text figures differ from the summary, reinforcing that registry credential fields should not be treated as a definitive workforce census. Texas also reports 162 providers with multiple taxonomies; taxonomy classifications can overlap and do not represent separate workers.

Demographics and organizations

Women account for 554 providers (84%), men 89 (13%), and nonbinary providers 18 (3%). The notable-organization list includes Texas Rehabilitation and Habilitation Specialists, LLC, with three records, and El Paso Community MHMR, with two. Repeated records can reflect multiple listings, not necessarily distinct employers or newly opened sites. Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Dallas and Corpus Christi are among the listed top cities, indicating activity across several major markets.

The update suggests a sizeable RBT pipeline, but expanding ABA access will also depend on whether Texas can sustain enough BCBA supervision as provider activity grows.
