I can tell you what Defensive Driving does in Texas, at least, as of 15-20 years ago. It leaves the ticket on your record, but sets the points to 0.

Many years ago, I had taken defensive driving and then had some other issue, and ended up having to request my record from Austin. When I received it, it showed the tickets that I'd taken defensive driving, but then showed "points assessed" as 0.

At least the last time that I got a ticket if you used deferred adjudication, the ticket disappeared off of your record as if it had never occurred.
