Texas had 636 providers in the latest CMS NPI Registry weekly update, accounting for 6% of the national weekly total. That concentration puts Texas among the states contributing a notable share of new registry activity, though NPI records do not confirm hiring, active caseloads or appointment availability. The update reports 320 providers added this week and 367 this year; the listed population includes 510 individuals and 126 organizations.

ABA credential mix

The credential summary lists 56 BCBAs and 169 RBTs, alongside 9 providers with both credentials. These categories overlap: dual-credential providers may be counted in the BCBA and RBT totals, so the figures are not mutually exclusive. The RBT count is about three times the BCBA count, suggesting a larger technician pool than supervisor pool in the listed credential data. RBTs deliver direct services under BCBA supervision, so this imbalance makes supervisory capacity an important consideration as the workforce expands. The registry also identifies 146 providers with multiple taxonomies, further cautioning against treating classifications as separate groups.

Demographics and organizations

Women make up 425 listed providers, or 83%; men account for 70, or 14%, and nonbinary providers 15, or 3%. These figures cover the broader provider population, not ABA practitioners alone. Among organizations appearing multiple times, Educare Community Living Corporation - Texas leads with 10 records, while Dallas County Hospital District appears 5 times. Related Educare entities also recur: Educare Community Living - Normal Life has 3 records, and its Gulf Coast organization has 2. Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Dallas and Fort Worth are the leading listed cities.

The update points to substantial provider activity across Texas, but sustained ABA access will depend on whether BCBA supervision can keep pace with the larger RBT workforce.
