Is it possible to get a DUI charge dropped or reduced?

If you got charged with?DUI - driving under the influence as a driver under 21 - you are LUCKY if you blew a .14 because you should have been charged with DWI - driving while intoxicated. .08 or higher is presumed DWI in Texas. I think you are charged in county court with DWI (and in traffic court with the traffic offenses.) You MUST have a lawyer so hire a good one immediately. You will lose your driver's license because of your breath test but your lawyer may want to use the driver's license hearing to do discovery on the DWI. (The request for the hearing must be made within 15 days of your arrest.) Depending on the county, there is a possibility of a reduction of charges but frankly, .14 is a fairly high breath test.

Can my boyfriend be charged with a DUI for sleeping in vehicle parked in driveway?

A couple of things, he cannot be charged with third offense (the snowmobile case does not count) and he can't even be charged with second offense, you need two involving motor vehicles within seven years for that. The prosecutor has to prove he drove while intoxicated, based on the facts as you give them, that will be difficult to impossible to do, they may dismiss, or your friend has a very winnable case.

My friend was arrested for DUI but her Miranda rights weren't read. Can that affect the outcome of the case?

Probably not. Although an officer should read you your Miranda rights when you are arrested, it is not absolutely necessary as long as you are not questioned about the crime for which you were arrested or were detained during the questioning. Miranda only acts to suppress any statements you gave the police after you are arrested or detained. It does not invalidate an arrest.
