How do you remove textured paint from a wall?
You are going to have to sand it. If the texture is very fine, then just change the color, and if you want a vast change then you have to sand it (fine sand paper if the texture is fine and a higher grit of sand paper if the texture is quite deep.) If you can't be bothered doing this then you'll have to take the wall down and wall-board it. The other option you have (I'd do this if the texture is deep) is plastering the wall and this is only meant if there are rough swirls on the wall. Sandy type paint should be lightly sanded down to prepare for your new coat of paint.
How do you texture paint walls?
Textured paint is made by adding some inert material to your paint, either while it is still in the can, or by sprinkling it on while the paint is still wet. The most common usage is to give "grip" to painted stairs. An additive known as "Shark skin" - it is really just a fine sand - is added to paint in the can, stirred in and the steps are painted with the mixture. The result is a non-slip surface. The difficulty is that if you do not continually stir the paint the additive settles to the bottom of the can. The best way to use this product is to paint the stairs, wait for the paint to dry, tape or mask off all of the tread but a 1 1/2 inch strip at the front edge of the step, apply another coat of paint and while it is wet sprinkle the "Shark skin" into the wet paint. Remove the tape or masking and wait for the paint to dry. This gives you a a tidier look, a non-slip edge and does not ruin the paint you have left.

Can you mix a little play sand with latex paint to make it not slippery to walk on?
You can, or you can sprinkle the sand into a first coat of paint, while it is wet, let it drya and put another coat of paint over the sand - this eliminates contaminating all of the paint and the work of having to constantly stir the paint to keep the sand from settling to the bottom. There is also an additive you can purchase i most good paint stores called "shark skin", it is specific for this use.

What is actual-texture?
Actual texture is the way that a painting actually feels to the touch, regardless of what is in the painting. An artist may pay close attention to the actual texture, for example a mixed media artist might add sand to the surface of his piece. Other artists won't pay as close attention to their paintings' texture, for example a painter might not intentionally add texture but her painting would have the texture of her paint

How does actual texture look like?
Actual texture is how something actually feels to the touch, regardless of what is depicted on its surface. Often in paintings it looks like brush strokes. Other times it may look like an item that the artist has added to the paint, like sand or string.
