Banking Commissioner Charles G. Cooper stated, “In investigating the illegal surcharges being incurred by some consumers it has become apparent that the merchants imposing these charges have relied upon erroneous information provided by their payment processor. The good news is that only a handful of consumers in two or three communities have reported this activity. The Department is attempting to eliminate these illegal surcharges before they become widespread affecting more citizens of Texas.
...
The merchants that are imposing surcharges are primarily located in Dallas-Fort Worth and Bryan-College Station, based on the complaints the Department has received.
Good job, y'all. That's the power of TexAgs at work. This thread made a difference.
