Max Penalty

Up to $500 fine (no jail for Class C)

Public Intoxication under Texas Penal Code § 49.02 is a Class C Misdemeanor — the lowest level criminal offense in Texas — carrying a maximum fine of $500 with no jail time. The offense requires being intoxicated in a public place to the degree that the person may endanger themselves or another. Officers in Austin commonly issue this charge during entertainment district enforcement. While the fine is modest, a criminal record — even for a Class C — can appear on background checks. A third conviction within 24 months is a Class B Misdemeanor.
