DIXIE HOUSE CAFE - Hulen
DINERS BEWARE!
Went in today with 6 others in our group. Total of 7 persons. Was astounded to be charged $8.95 for 4 slices of bacon. $41.77 total for two persons having (French Toast and bacon a la carte plus Hot Tea, also a Two Egg breakfast that came with bacon, hash browns, biscuit-gravy plus coffee)is overall quite extreme, considering the portions were small. Dixie House Cafe prices are equivalent to hotel/room service pricing, without even offering a rewards program. *A supplemental fee is charged if you are paying with a debit and/or credit card. It was confirmed by Manager, Courtney that the prices will be going up in the next few weeks. Ask for a receipt and compare it to your statement as price adjustments are not forthcoming and overcharging has occurred. I for my part will not be returning as prices go up on the weekend compared to weekday pricing. Make sure to look at their price list before you put your wallet on the line.
*In Texas, it is illegal for businesses to impose a surcharge or extra fee on customers for using a debit card, according to the Texas Business & Commerce Code Section 604A.0021. Unlike credit card surcharges, which face legal uncertainty, the ban on debit card surcharges remains in effect and enforced.
Texas State Law Library (.gov)
Prohibition: Merchants cannot charge a fee for using a debit or stored value card, even if processed as a signature "credit" transaction.
Penalty: Knowingly violating this law can lead to a $500 civil penalty for each violation.
Reporting: Consumers can file complaints regarding improper debit card surcharges with the Texas Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division.
Exceptions: The ban applies to most retail transactions, but it does not apply to certain state/local government entities or private schools.
Credit vs. Debit: While a 2018 federal court ruling made it difficult to enforce Texas's ban on credit card fees, the prohibition on debit card surcharges specifically remains strongly in place.

Note: Some businesses may mistakenly apply credit card surcharge rules to debit cards, which is still a violation of Texas law.
