GC § 411.172 (c) An individual who has been convicted two times within the 10-year period preceding the date on which the person applies for a license of an offense of the grade of Class B misdemeanor or greater that involves the use of alcohol or a controlled substance as a statutory element of the offense is a chemically dependent person for purposes of this section and is not qualified to receive a license under this subchapter.
PC § 49.02. PUBLIC INTOXICATION. (a) A person commits an offense if the person appears in a public place while intoxicated to the degree that the person may endanger the person or another....
(c) Except as provided by Subsection (e), an offense under this section is a Class C misdemeanor....
(e) An offense under this section committed by a person younger than 21 years of age is punishable in the same manner as if the minor committed an offense to which Section 106.071, Alcoholic Beverage Code, applies.
It doesn't look from this like public intoxication is a disqualifier.

I think the law applies only to DPS.
GC §411.192. CONFIDENTIALITY OF RECORDS. (a) The department [DPS] shall disclose to a criminal justice agency information contained in its files and records regarding whether a named individual or any individual named in a specified list is licensed under this subchapter. Information on an individual subject to disclosure under this section includes the individual's name, date of birth, gender, race, and zip code.
If another agency or individual becomes aware that you have a CHL, there is no obligation for them to maintain confidentiality.

BTW, there's another law that I tend to forget about:
GC §411.178. NOTICE TO LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT. On request of a local law enforcement agency, the department shall notify the agency of the licenses that have been issued to license holders who reside in the county in which the agency is located.
Your police chief or sheriff could obtain this information and give it to a newspaper. They might be nuts to do so, but it appears to be allowed.
