I am a business owner in Texas and I am considering charging a credit card processing fee. However, I am not sure if it is legal to do so in the state of Texas. Can someone clarify if charging such a fee is illegal or not?

Notably, state agencies, counties, and local government entities are exempt from this law. This exemption allows these entities to charge additional fees if a credit card is used for payment.

Private schools are also excluded from the surcharge ban. This means that private schools can impose additional fees on parents or students who pay with a credit card.

The regulation aims to protect consumers from unfair practices but recognizes the unique circumstances of state and local government entities and private schools.
