Country singer Randy Travis was naked when he was arrested following a single-vehicle accident last August near Tioga, a city about 65 miles north of Fort Worth.
Authorities have said his blood-alcohol level was more than 0.15. The legal limit for driving is 0.08.
But on Thursday, Travis avoided jail time by pleading guilty to a charge that could have meant two years in confinement and a $4,000 fine.
Grayson County's top prosecutor praised the outcome.
"We feel it is appropriate in these circumstances," said Joe Brown, Grayson County district attorney. "I spoke at length with the officers involved, and they were in agreement with the outcome.
"We are all hopeful that Mr. Travis is on the road to recovery."
