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

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.

It means that the judge was not satisfied with the prosecutors presentation and didn't believe there were enough facts to go ahead with the charge.

How does a DUI appears if it occurs in a different state than the licensing state?

That's a weird Montana law and I don't know Montana law, but what I take from it is that they have something less than a DWI. So, even if they report it to Texas it won't satisfy as a prior DWI in Texas. And Texas will treat it the same as Montana. It may be on your record, but looks like it will just be on your driving record and not criminal record.
