Country singer Randy Travis has been sentenced to 180 DAYS IN JAIL after pleading guilty to drunk driving in Texas back in August ...  but he probably won't spend a single minute behind bars ... TMZ has learned.

According to the Grayson County District Attorney ...Travis was sentenced to 180 days in jail, but that sentence was probated for 2 years ... meaning if he stays out of trouble for 2 years, he can avoid the slammer.

But if Travis runs afoul of the law, officials can bring Travis in to serve out the 180 days.

Travis must also check in to an inpatient alcohol treatment facility for a minimum of 30 days AND complete 100 hours of community service.

There's more ... Travis must also install an ignition interlock device on any vehicle he drives for 2 years. The IID measures the driver's blood alcohol level and will prevent the engine from starting if the driver is intoxicated.

TMZ broke the story ... Travis was arrested for Driving While Intoxicated on August 7, 2012 ... after cops found him lying naked in the roadway after crashing his car in a construction area in Texas.

Randy Travis is so serious about giving the bottle the boot ... he's actively seeking out treatment for his alcohol problem -- all while recording two albums -- TMZ has learned.

If you recall ... Randy had a significant drinking issue back in 2012 -- when he was busted for that naked DWI -- and has since given up alcohol for good.

Now, Randy's lawyer, Larry Friedman, tells TMZ ... Randy's health is on the upswing, but he still wants to get professional help so he can maintain his booze-free path to sobriety.

According to Friedman, Randy will continue recording as he goes through treatment ... and plans on releasing two albums by the end of the year.

It's paying off too -- Friedman tells TMZ, Randy's record sales are up ... and bookings recently reached an all-time high.

Randy Travis didn't kick the holy crap out of anyone outside of a Texas church back in August ... at least that's what the country singer is telling the judge.

Travis just appeared in court in Plano, Texas ... where he plead not guilty to simple assault for allegedly attacking another man in the church parking lot around 1 AM on August 24.

TMZ broke the story ... cops say Randy was the primary aggressor after getting involved in a "family argument" between a woman and another man.

Randy's lawyer, Larry Friedman, had told us the woman is Randy's fiancee ... who was arguing with her estranged husband ... when Randy entered the situation.

Friedman claimed Randy had simply "come to the rescue" and did nothing wrong.

The case is now slated to head to trial -- which is set to begin in March.

Randy Travis is officially ON THE WAGON -- this according to his lawyer who tells TMZ the singer has “eliminated alcohol from his daily life.”

You know the history ... the troubled 53-year-old wound up behind bars several times in the past year after multiple booze-related arrests (naked DWI, public intoxication, assault).

Now, Randy's lawyer, Larry Friedman, tells TMZ … Travis has acknowledged the problem ... and decided to 86 the liquor from his life so he could focus on improving his health. 

“[Randy] works out 3 hours every day and is in the best shape of his life,” Friedman says … adding, “He has a high protein diet and takes a lot of vitamins.”

Besides his new workout obsession, Friedman says Randy is determined to get his groove back – and hit up a recording studio in Texas last week to start laying down some new tracks.

No word if Travis is planning on releasing a new album anytime soon ... but given the last 12 months of his life, he's definitely got enough material for a classic country song.

Randy Travis seems to be spiraling out of control -- with DUI's and bloody confrontations, all which seem to be fueled by alcohol.  So we gotta ask ...

Police in Frisco, TX found a smashed up truck belonging to Randy Travis early Saturday morning, but a lawyer for the troubled country star says Travis hasn't been in that vehicle for months. 

The truck was found on its side in a field just one day after Travis was cited for assault outside a church in nearby Plano.

A lawyer for Travis told WFAA that Travis is not the one who left it there and that Travis had not been in that truck for the past few months.

In addition to the church arrest allegedly fueled by alcohol earlier this week, Travis was arrested for DWI on August 7 after he crashed his car. Cops found Travis buck naked.

2:00 PM PT -- Travis had "bloodshot" eyes and torn clothing following the incident ... this according to the police report.

11:38 AM PT -- A source close to Randy tells TMZ, the singer was NOT drunk, nor had he been drinking. The source says Randy's fiancee and her estranged husband were arguing over visitation of their son and things got violent ... so Randy jumped in.

7:45 AM PT -- The Plano Police Department tells TMZ ... Travis was cited for simple assault. We're told officials believe Randy was the primary aggressor.

Cops say ... there was a "family argument" taking place between a man and a woman ... and Randy got involved.

Randy's lawyer, Larry Friedman, tells TMZ ... the woman in the argument is Randy's fiancee, who was arguing with her estranged husband ... when Randy entered the situation. 

Friedman says, "Randy Travis was the only man that came to the rescue ... fortunately even today chivalry is not dead”

Another man was also involved in the fight, but cops say it wasn't the husband.


More trouble for Randy Travis ... TMZ has learned the embattled singer was involved in a FIGHT in a church parking lot in Texas early this morning.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... cops responded to the church around 1 AM after receiving a tip about two men fighting in the parking lot.

We're told Travis was taken to the hospital after the fight. One source tells us Randy appeared to be "extremely intoxicated."

We're told the fight was over a girl.

Travis has had serious problems with alcohol -- he was arrested for DWI earlier this month after cops say they found the singer naked at the scene of a car crash.

And Travis was busted for public intoxication back in February after cops say he was hammered in a different church parking lot.

Attempts to reach Travis were unsuccessful.

The convenience store security footage that allegedly shows a drunk, buck-ass naked Randy Travis buying cigarettes before he crashed his car last week is now in the hands of police, TMZ has learned.

The manager of the Tiger Mart in Sherman, TX tells TMZ, officers came in to the establishment on Friday with a warrant and left with the store's entire video surveillance system -- containing the naked Randy tape.

According to the manager, cops took the whole system because nobody could figure out how to remove just the tape. Technology can be a bitch sometimes.

TMZ broke the story ... Randy was popped for DWI last Tuesday after crashing his car. Cops say when they arrived to the crash scene, Randy was completely naked. Cops also claim Randy threatened to shoot and kill the arresting officers.

Calls to the Sherman Texas Department of Public Safety -- which is investigating Randy's DWI -- were not returned.

TMZ has learned ... moments after word got out about Travis' arrest, several locals raced over to the jail to help out -- one man posted Randy's cash bond and another man offered legal services right away.

The lawyer was Gary Corley ... who tells TMZ the area around Sherman, TX is a close-knit community where the people take care of each other ... and he wanted to "do the humanitarian thing" and help Travis.

When Corley arrived to the jail, he briefly met with Randy, offered his services, and told him about the legion of photographers waiting outside the jail to shoot the singer.

Corley tells us he was wearing his Texas hat at the time, but decided Randy probably needed it more ... and literally gave him the cap right off of his head so the singer could shield his face from shutterbugs on his way out.

We're told Corley had a car waiting for Travis in case he wanted a ride ... but the man who posted  Randy's cash bond had already arranged for transportation ... so Randy went with his money man.

So far, we're told Randy has not officially hired an attorney ... but Corley says he'll be there if he needs him.

TMZ has obtained the Randy Travis 911 call made last night by a passerby who saw the country singer lying in the road.

TMZ broke the story ... police found Randy laying naked outside his crashed car and arrested him for DUI and making threats against the cops.

In the 911 call authorities were having trouble figuring out exactly where Randy crashed.

As we reported, Randy was taken to jail in his birthday suit.  His mug shot clearly shows the injuries from the crash.

When Travis was released, police gave him a parting gift -- some paper clothes.

Randy Travis left a Texas jail this morning in a brand new suit ... a paper suit ... after cops found the country singer NAKED at the scene of a DWI car wreck.

TMZ broke the story ... officials say Travis had no clothes on when they arrived to the scene of his car accident late last night. They also say Travis was drunk off his ass ... and arrested him for DWI.

After transporting a naked Travis to a nearby jail, officials forced Travis to put on the paper suit ... which he was allowed to wear home.

It's possible Travis wasn't entirely naked during the arrest -- since he was wearing a U of Texas hat on the way out of jail, it's possible he was also sporting the headwear at the crash scene.

If you're only gonna wear one article of clothing during a naked arrest, might as well make it something that says "Longhorn."
