How do you remove points from your driving record in Texas?
Is there a way to get rid of points on my record? I’ve heard of people doing that in other states and I wondered if it might be an option here.

To remove points from your driving record in
Texas
, you’ll need to take a Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR)-approved defensive driving course. You’ll need to check with the TDLR to make sure you’re eligible for this program—but if you are, this is a great way to reduce the number of points on your record.Most Texas driving points will typically expire after three years, so you can also simply wait for your record to clear on its own. Note that this is not the case for more severe violations, like DUIs, which will remain on your record forever unless you take legal action to have the charge expunged. It’s best to talk to a lawyer to determine next steps.
