I am using D3DUtil_CreateTexture to create my textures. I cant find docs on this utility. I Can I specify a transparent color with this or another method? This is a texture for a sprite in Direct3D 9 thanks

I'm not quite sure what D3DUtil_CreateTexture does but it sounds like you're looking for D3DXCreateTextureFromFileEx, that should allow you to specify a colour key to make sections of the image transparent. Another alternative is import a format that has alpha values such as PNG so you don't have to worry about transparency colour keys.
