TEXAS AND CREDIT CARD CONVENIENCE FEES OR SURCHARGES
In Texas, the Finance Code prohibits sellers from charging such a fee to credit card customers, however, sellers may offer a discount for paying in cash. Additionally, government entities are exempt from this restriction, therefore government agencies can (and often do) charge extra fees for using credit cards. Note that many of the universities charge a convenience fee; i.e., Texas Parks & Wildlife charges a fee; TCU charges 2.75% with a $3.00 minimum. Landlords cannot charge a fee, and there have been cases to prevent this action.
Tex. Finance Code § 339.001 (2011)
