Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched a forceful investigation into a real estate project linked to the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC), known as EPIC City, a 402-acre development in Josephine, Texas, intended to be a Muslim stronghold with a mosque, Islamic schools, and over 1,000 homes.
Paxton issued a Civil Investigative Demand (CID) to Community Capital Partners, LP (CCP), the entity behind the project, to examine potential violations of Texas consumer protection laws, according to an official statement from his office.

This move comes after weeks of controversy, following Governor Greg Abbott’s denunciation of the project as having “serious legal issues” and his assertion that “Sharia law is not allowed in Texas, nor are Sharia cities or no-go zones.”
EPIC City, promoted by the East Plano Islamic Center, has been accused of attempting to establish a community that could incorporate elements of Sharia law, something Republican State Representative Jeff Leach of Plano called a threat to Texas laws in a letter to Paxton.
The project includes plans for a mosque, a faith-based K-12 school, senior housing, a community center, and a college, all funded through the sale of $80,000 shares to buyers, according to Yasir Qadhi, a resident scholar at EPIC.
However, alarm bells rang when it was revealed that EPIC is the “sole beneficiary of the profits” from EPIC City, according to the center’s own promotional materials, raising suspicions about the project’s transparency.
Paxton’s investigation aims to uncover any legal violations, and the CID could lead to fines, investor refunds, or even a court order to halt the project if irregularities are found, such as potential violations of the Fair Housing Act.
Abbott and Paxton are not alone: X users have expressed outrage, with viral posts warning about the “endgame” of Islamic communities that, according to them, do not seek to assimilate but to impose their own laws.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations has criticized these actions, alleging they demonize Muslims, but Paxton and Abbott stand firm, prioritizing Texas sovereignty over what they consider a covert threat.
The controversy fits into a broader context: Texas is considering becoming the first U.S. state to officially ban Sharia law, a measure gaining traction among conservatives.
During his first term, President Trump took drastic measures against Muslim immigration, including a travel ban on majority-Muslim countries, and in 2025, he signed an executive order to review the entry of nationals from countries with “deficient vetting.”
🚨BREAKING: Governor Abbott has SLAMMED the Sharia Law City that’s being built, saying, “A dozen state agencies are INVESTIGATING IT, the Attorney General will look into it, and legislators are considering laws to restrict it.” TX will end the INVASION!

This showdown in Texas reflects a larger struggle for American identity, where progressive open-border policies have, according to critics, allowed foreign ideologies to infiltrate under the guise of diversity.
Enough with progressive nonsense! Texas, under the leadership of Paxton and Abbott, is sending a clear message: we will not yield to Islamization nor allow Sharia law to creep onto American soil, and with Trump in the White House, this battle will intensify until any attempt to undermine our Christian and patriotic values is crushed.
Let the leftists cry and the globalists tremble: Trump’s America and Texas will not bow to anyone, and Sharia will be eradicated once and for all!
