WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A PUBLIC INTOXICATION ARREST IN MIDLAND?

After an arrest in Midland for Public Intoxication, people are released on their own recognizance, or on a cash bond. If you waive your rights just to get out of jail, the next thing that happens could be a permanent criminal conviction.

Don’t get tricked into paying the fine and pleading guilty. If you plead guilty and pay a fine, or sign a paper that allows the court to convert your bond amount towards a fine, you are agreeing to a permanent criminal conviction that will show up on every background check forever. 

After an arrest, it’s important to contact a Midland Public Intoxication lawyer immediately to protect your rights and your record.

DOES PUBLIC INTOXICATION STAY ON YOUR RECORD IN TEXAS?

Yes. A Public Intoxication conviction creates a permanent criminal record. Under Texas Penal Code § 49.02, Public Intoxication is a Class C misdemeanor, and unlike traffic tickets, it does not disappear over time. However, if the charge is dismissed, the case can often be expunged, permanently clearing the record.
