Short answer: no, because there are no points to remove. Texas abolished its points system on September 1, 2019, when House Bill 2048 repealed the Driver Responsibility Program. DPS waived every outstanding surcharge on the same day. If a website is telling you how many points a Texas speeding ticket adds to your license, that page is at least seven years out of date, and there are several of them ranking on Google right now.
What you're actually worried about still exists though. A conviction goes on your driving record, your insurer sees it, and your rate goes up. The fix Texas gives you is better than point removal. It's dismissal.
Complete a TDLR-approved driving safety course with the court's permission and the charge is dismissed under Article 45A.352 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Not masked, not reduced. Dismissed. The statute says a dismissed charge may not be part of your driving record or used for any purpose. Your insurer never sees it because there is nothing to see.
The article number changed recently, by the way. Courts cited this as Art. 45.0511 for twenty years. Texas recodified the whole chapter effective January 1, 2025, and it's now Art. 45A.352. Same rules, new number. If your court paperwork shows either one, it's the same thing.
Here's how you qualify. You hold a Texas license or permit. You haven't used a driving safety course for dismissal in the 12 months before the offense date, and that clock runs from the ticket, not from when you finished the last course. You enter a plea of guilty or no contest and request the course in writing on or before the answer date printed on your citation. Miss that date and the judge can still say yes, but now it's discretion instead of a right. The court then gives you 90 days to finish the 6-hour course and get your certificate in.
One change from September 2025 that almost nobody has caught up with: if one stop produced more than one eligible ticket, Senate Bill 296 lets the court dismiss all of them off a single course completion. Before that it was one course, one ticket. If an officer wrote you up for two things at once, that amendment just cut your cost in half.
Not every ticket qualifies. Speeding 25 mph or more over the limit is out, and so is any speed of 95 mph or above regardless of the limit. Passing a stopped school bus, leaving the scene or failing to stop and give information after an accident, and violations in a construction zone with workers present are all excluded too. You also need to show the court proof of liability insurance to qualify, and the option isn't available to CDL holders at all. For the excluded stuff you're either paying, fighting it, or talking to the court about deferred disposition, which is a different mechanism with its own rules.
Cost-wise, the course itself runs $25 to $35. Texas law actually sets a $25 floor, so anyone advertising cheaper is making the difference up in fees. You'll also pay a court administrative fee, capped at $10, and you still pay court costs on the underlying ticket. All in you're usually out $60 to $90. Set that against what a conviction does to your insurance over three years and the math isn't close.
