Amanda Bynes's DUI charge dating back two years has been dismissed, according to TMZ.

The troubled star was arrested back in April 2012 in West Hollywood when she received the DUI charge.

While Amanda was not present at court, her lawyer Rich Hutton accepted the a plea of 'wet reckless', said to be a 'drinking-relating offense that does not have the serious consequence of DUI' TMZ report.

The site also claims that her license was suspended because she refused to submit an alcohol test.

Earlier this month, Amanda Bynes' mother has been praised for helping her to turn her life around.

Lynn Bynes became the actress's temporary conservator, giving her control of the star's personal and financial affairs in July last year.

And the judge overseeing Lynn's conservator duties in Oxnard credited her for Amanda's amazing progress in court on 11 February, according to TMZ, saying: 'Good job, Mrs. Bynes. Well done.'

A source recently revealed that Amanda's parents are thrilled that her life is more stable but don't think she is ready to move out of their home just yet, even though she is eager to get her own place.
The insider said: 'It's not likely she will be moving out of their house for at least the next several months.'

The 27-year-old star, who previously expressed a desire to start her own clothing line, recently began taking a fashion design course in Orange County and commutes there every day.

The insider said: 'It's only one class, but it's enough to keep Amanda busy. When not in class or at the doctor, Amanda has been frequenting the gym.'

'Her parent's have told friends they feel that they have their beloved daughter back for the first time in years.'
