Default Background Checks

Was wondering if someone could share some light on what information the regionals have access to when they do their background checks of a potential pilot new hire. I am ex US Air Force and had a top secret security clearance and a spotless record until I recieved a public intoxication citation about five years ago in Texas. I went through the Texas Dept of Public Safety's background check contractor (got fingerprinted and paid the fee) and requested my own record. I recieved it in the mail the other day and it shows that I have no criminal record or clear as they refer to it. A PI is a class C misdemeanor (same as a speeding ticket) in Texas. I was wondering if I should disclose this information if going through an Airline interview when it does not show up on my record because I don't know if the information the Airline will have will be more detailed. If so, does this one indiscretion kill my chance of getting hired by a regional?
