Yesterday, Texas Attorney General Opinion No. GA-0951 (2012) was issued on "Whether a private retail establishment may charge an itemized and disclosed "service fee" on a consumer transaction."
The Summary to the Opinion states:
"No statute or constitutional provision prohibits a private retail establishment in Texas from charging an itemized and disclosed "service fee" on a consumer transaction, provided that the fee is not limited to the use of a credit card. If, however, the fee is not itemized and disclosed to the consumer in advance of the transaction, the consumer may not be contractually bound to pay it."
