It doesn't look from this like public intoxication is a disqualifier.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.
