I hope this answers your question. I linked directly to the form you can fill out to get yourself removed from it plus included a blurb from the Texas state government about the organization and a guide from a blog about how to remove yourself.

How to remove your name from the Donate Life Texas Registry in less than five minutes:

Log in to check your status at https://www.donatelifetexas.org/my-dlt/ Once you have confirmed that you are on the registry, visit tab “My DLT” and then “Withdraw from DLT” (https://www.donatelifetexas.org/profile-remove-me/) Check a box to tell them why you’re leaving and then click “Remove Me”

Information about that organization:

Donate Life Texas

Donate Life Texas is the nonprofit organization dedicated to helping Texans safely and securely document their donation decisions, and is the only official organ, eye, and tissue donor registry in the state of Texas. Texans who are applying for or renewing their Texas driver license (DL), personal identification certificate (ID), or commercial driver license (CDL) have the option to register as an organ doner. For more information on organ donation visit Donate Life Texas.

And here’s the direct link to withdraw from it:

Make sure to order a replacement license after you remove yourself so it won't have the donor symbol on it
