Is it illegal in the state of Texas to offer cash back through a credit card/debit card machine in a bar>?

offer credit card
Being sold an ATM machine for placement in a bar in Tarrant County, Texas. Seller is telling me that there is legislation against bars or restaurants selling alcoholic beverages being allowed to offer credit card/ debit card customers cash back. Stating that as the reason I must have ATM instead of programming credit card/ debit card machine to allow cash back.

When the playoffs come what team do you think will be a spoiler in the postseason?

compare credit cards
For some reason I keep mentioning St. Louis. I mean they have had great pitching especially from Carp, Wainwright, and Piniero. Yadi has been great behind the plate, Albert’s tearing it up like usual, and the addition of Holliday is really paying off with the protection behind Pujols. Yet, I don’t think the Cards are getting the credit they deserve compared to other teams and I think they could surprise us in the playoffs. What team do you guys have in mind that will surprise and why did you pick that team?

Thanks everyone and good night=)

Which is Reliable Credit Score Source?

compare credit cards
I am trying to boost my credit score. As a part of this process, I am able to pay off most of credit card debt. Still little amount is remaining as compared to 4 months ago.

So I subscribed to freecreditreport.com and pulled my report and score. All Three major companies shows my score 700+.

I also subscribed to Score Watch on myfico.com and to my surprise it was 50 points less.

So I called My Fico customer service and she said Other sites calculate differently and we do it differently. and many lenders rely on fico score.

Who should I believe?
