Public intoxication is a misdemeanor and will be on your record until expunged. To get it expunged contact an attorney or the Public Defender's office.

If you were convicted of public intoxication you have a criminal record and a misdemeanor conviction which will remain on your record until you take steps to have it expunged, then it will be hidden from the public, but always available to law enforcement and background checks for government issued licenses and government jobs. If you were under 21 at the time of the offense, it will also appear on your driving record.

Usually public intoxication is charged as a misdemeanor, so it stays on your criminal record forever unless and until you petition the court for expungement. You should hire a lawyer to negotiate with the Judge for a dismissal of this relatively minor charge, so you don't get convicted in the first place.
