My fiancé, the US citizen, had a driving under the influence of alcohol by minor 9 years ago when he was 20 years old. He was released and paid a fine on the same night. We provided all the info requested on I-129f about the arrest, dates, fine. We also called the court and sheriff department of the place where it happened in Texas but they both said that they don't do certified copies and that the arrest record that is on the court website would be enough (we printed that and sent it with the form). Is this going to be okay for USCIS or will they still want that certified court copy of the arrest even though the court and sheriff department said they don't do that?

Just be honest and give them what you have.  If you get an RFE I am sure a letter from the court stating that they don't issue "certified" records would be fine.  I believe that USCIS already knows what is available and not.  They handle so many petitions that they have seen it all.  Just make sure that you are very honest with them and see what happens.  It comes down to the adjudicator.  In my case (where I screwed up and we were denied) we got the court clerk to sign a paper that no records are available and my docket number is not in the database.  My arrest was dropped and expunged so there are no public records available at all for me.  I don't know if I will need it but I have it just in case.
