I looked at the three GCL public timetables I have and a 1912 Frisco Lines.

St.L.B.& M. No. 19 dated June 13, 1909 shows only meal stops between Houston and Brownsville.

GCL No. 16 dated December 15, 1922 shows dining service provided on the trains using Pullman Club cars between Houston and Mexico City and Houston and Tampico and Parlor Cafe Observation cars between New Orleans and Houston.

GCL No. 12, is undated (of course) but highlights the Grunewald Hotel operating dining service between New Orleans and Houston (see below).

Frisco Lines System TT dated September 1912 shows ‘stops for meals’ between New Orleans, Houston and Brownsville. Fun rabbit hole you’ve started!
