Answer

Texas won’t let you have a driver’s license if Colorado still has a hold on your license. If you are clear with Colorado, you’re OK. If the passage of time has not wiped out your obligations from your conviction, you will have to clear them first. You will probably have tom contact an attorney in Colorado.
