What constitutes 'public intoxication' in Texas?

  1. Being intoxicated in a private residence

  2. Being intoxicated in a public place and causing harm

  3. Consuming alcohol in a restaurant

  4. Possessing alcohol in a vehicle

The correct answer is: Being intoxicated in a public place and causing harm

Public intoxication in Texas is defined as being intoxicated in a public place and causing harm to oneself or others. This means that options A, C, and D are incorrect. Being intoxicated in a private residence, consuming alcohol in a restaurant, or possessing alcohol in a vehicle does not meet the criteria for public intoxication. It is important to note that simply being intoxicated in a public place is not enough to constitute public intoxication unless it is also causing harm.
