How can I clean my driving record in Texas?

I've lived in Texas my whole life. I haven’t always been a good driver, and I've accumulated quite a few points on my record. Is there any way to get them removed?

You can’t directly remove points but you can clean your
Texas driving record
 by building up a history of safe driving.
Here are a few things you could try to improve your Texas driving record and avoid future traffic tickets:
  • Complete a defensive driving course
  • Don’t forget your driver’s license at home
  • Make sure you’ve got
    proof of insurance
     in your glove box
  • Fix any car troubles (like broken tail lights, headlights, or mirrors) ASAP
  • Keep your driver’s license and registration up to date
  • Pay any traffic tickets as soon as possible
  • Try and fight any new traffic tickets and hire legal representation if necessary
Take note: The Texas Department of Public Safety doesn’t provide anyone but you with a driving record older than three years. 
Learn from your mistakes and they’ll become valuable in their own right. Good luck!

Can I use my air conditioning with the windows open?
There is a strange smell coming from my house. I cannot figure out what it is, but I really need to get some fresh air circulating. The only problem is, it’s incredibly hot right now. We need to keep our air conditioning running. Can you use your air conditioning with the windows open?
