Who do I contact about being cheated out of wages?

A friend is 18 and working in at ihop in San Antonio and received a "deposit" for $7. she's a server so she makes $2.14 an hour.

Something is seriously wrong here and since I'm not in that state I don't know where to direct her to go.

Update:

sorry, she used to work at ihop. she's now at Chili's

    The first thing she does is speak to her supervisor and ask what is happening.

    If that doesn't work, she can speak to the Texas Department of Labor, Wages and Hours Division.

    There is a Labor Board in every state. First she needs to make sure it want an error then she can contact the Human Resources dept.

    What? Minimum wage in Texas is $7.25! You can't pay someone less than minimum wage. Have her contact the State Labor Commissioner.

    You could try contacting the unions - but the republicans destroyed those.
