How can I have my DUI drop to a reckless opp.?

Answered by attorney Amanda Bowden Johnson
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Houser Law Firm, P.C.
Your case is most likely not in North Carolina. In North Carolina we have DWI not DUI. However, if some aspects of this type of case are universal. If law enforcement did everything properly and the .17 result is admissible. Your choices will most likely be to pled guilty or go to trial. .17**is over twice the legal limit in most states. There is no prosecutor or district attorney that I know of who would risk their career by reducing a DWI at .17 unless there is some serious defect with the case that would cause them to have a serious question about their ability to secure a conviction. You need to consult with an experienced DWI attorney to see if there are any defects in your case that could possibly be used to your advantage. However, like I said if everything was done properly, your attorney will most likely recommend a plea and will attempt to minimize the punishment aspect of a DWI conviction. It is a good thing that you were cooperative with highway patrol and have a good driving record. Often things like this are considered mitigating factors and could lessen any punishment you may receive. Good luck to you and please don't ever drive drunk again - remember it's not just you that's in danger on the road if you drive in that condition again.

You got bad advice. If there's an outstanding warrant for your arrest for a DWI, it will be there forever, until you get it taken care of. To be clear, a "DUI" in Texas is a ticket issued to people under 21 who are suspected of driving under the influence. "DWI" is the over 21 charge, and is more serious. If all you have outstanding is the DUI ticket, you should just retain a TX attorney to handle it for you. Since you're living out of State now, your attorney may be able to get the warrant lifted, get you on a docket, make an appearance on your behalf, work out a resolution to the case, and all you'd have to do is mail in a check for the fees/court costs (if it can be worked out that way). The worst thing in the world to do would be to ignore it.
