Subject: Please support credit card swipe fee reform Dear [Your legislator], I am writing to ask for your support for credit card swipe fee reform in Texas. Last session, SB 2026 (89th Legislature), "Relating to the charging of swipe fees on certain electronic payment transaction; authorizing a civil penalty", would have excluded state and local taxes and gratuities listed separately on an invoice from the total on which swipe fees are calculated. I ask you to support legislation that does this in the coming session. [In your own words, how this affects you] Thank you for your time and your service. Sincerely, [Your name] [Your city]
