Texas attorney general Ken Paxton has asked the Texas State Securities Board (TSSB) to review what he says is evidence that entities tied to the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC)’s EPIC City project violated state and federal securities laws — and to refer the matter back so he can file suit. Paxton called the alleged misconduct “flagrant,” arguing that state law requires a TSSB referral before his office can bring a securities action.
After a thorough investigation, it has become clear that the developers behind EPIC City flagrantly and undeniably violated the law,” said Attorney General Paxton. “The bad actors behind this illegal scheme must be held accountable for ignoring state and federal regulations. In accordance with state law, the TSSB should review our findings and refer this matter to me for further legal action.
EPIC City is a 402-acre master-planned community near Josephine, Texas, spanning Collin and Hunt Counties. Materials describe housing (single-family, townhomes, multifamily), a mosque, schools, parks, senior living, and retail. The project vehicle, Community Capital Partners, LP (CCP), has been described in EPIC’s promotions as created by EPIC, with EPIC as the beneficiary of project profits.
In March, Paxton opened a consumer-protection probe and served a Civil Investigative Demand (CID) on CCP, the vehicle formed to develop EPIC City. The March 25, 2025 press release highlighted EPIC’s own promotional statements that CCP was “created by EPIC” and that EPIC is the “only beneficiary of profits” from the project.
Two days later, on March 27, Gov. Greg Abbott announced that the TSSB would investigate EPIC and “affiliated entities for potential failures to comply with applicable state and federal securities requirements, including protections against fraud.” In the same press release, Abbott said he sent a letter dated March 26 requesting EPIC “cease and desist funeral...”

Can hope this does not get built.
No doubt this planned Muslim community would attempt to impose Shariah Law, which runs counter to every liberty defined by local and state laws. Is Texas supposed to tolerate a community which mandates stoning people to death for apostasy in Islam or for blaspheming against the Koran and its “blessed prophet”?
‘Don’t mess with Texas.” was popular bumper sticker when I lived there for a few years.
TTexas, of all places. Yhey’ll throw the bums out.
RUN THEM OUT!!!!!!!
How can Americans accept this at all?
No churches are allowed in the fundamentalist Islamic countries these muslims were launched from.
This is colonization. Send them back. Our cultures are incompatible.
Send them to NYC.
We should not have any Muslims in America at all.
Agree But they are here so we must contain them and not allow what happened in Michigan and Minn to happen anywhere else
Why build a Muslim community here when there’s whole countries that are Muslim? I’m guessing the plan is to ‘get the best of both worlds’. Not sure why this doesn’t feel right...
They should be removed and the politicians that allowed them to come here should be tried for treason
wOULD BE NICE. But need to be realistic. That isn’t going to happen so we should make sure they don’t get more power
Agreed
If we are being realistic the Muslims will eventually get what they wanted anyways because most of our elected officials are pathetic cowards.
Also, imagine honor killings outside of this Muslim town for disobedient women who have escaped and tried to go American.
All the muslim community will do is train an antiAmerican combat unit.
