Can a drivers license reinstated after a dwi conviction over 20 years ago?

Answered by attorney William R. Pelger
DUI/DWI lawyer at Pelger Law
I dont know TX law, but your suspension period has probably expired. You need to speak with a local lawyer that handles driver license restoration issues. The lawyer can get your record from the TX Department of Motor Vehicles and see what is needed to restore.

Can an blood test show more alcohol than a breathalyzer test?

DUI/DWI lawyer at Pietryga Law Office
Possibly. I am guessing that the cop asked for a blood draw because of your low BAC reading. He is hoping you have an illegal substance in your body. Clearly, you were not under the influence of alcohol to a degree that would warrant a conviction. Hope this helps.

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

Jared Clayton Austin
Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
At .17 you would be considered "super drunk" and many prosecutor's offices have a policy against lowering the charge, especially to a non-alcohol related offense like reckless driving. That doesn't mean that it can't be done, but it's an uphill battle. There may be issues with the stop or how your blood alcohol content was determined. Only an experienced DUI attorney with a trained eye would be able to tell you for certain. A good DUI attorney is a great investment. This is serious and can have long-lasting effects so I would consult with a DUI attorney in your area as soon as possible.
