A planned Muslim-led city in the heart of Texas is one step close to becoming a reality after a judge said the state must comply with developers.
The East Plano Islamic Community (EPIC) mosque is hoping to create a new neighborhood for its followers just outside of Dallas, close to the town of Josephine.
Initially called EPIC City, the project was rebranded as The Meadow last year. The master-planned city will include 1,000 homes, a mosque, green spaces and schools.
Hundreds of locals have spoken out against the idea, along with state legislators including Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton, who claim project leaders plan to impose Sharia law.
But developers scored a win on Tuesday when a Travis County Judge ruled that the state agency Texas Workforce Commission must comply with the terms of an agreement it reached with the developer, Community Capital Partners.
The Texas Workforce Commission refused to proceed with the next steps for The Meadow project, saying it is under investigation for potential fair housing violations.
Community Capital Partners responded by filing a lawsuit against the agency for failing 'to acknowledge, evaluate, or advance the fair housing policies' it submitted.
The Travis County judge sided with developers this week, and denied the state's request to dismiss the case the following day, paving the way for progress.
'This ruling confirms what we have maintained from the beginning that Community Capital Partners has been willing, ready, and committed to following Texas law at every step,' the company's president Imran Chaudhary said in a statement.
'We have done nothing wrong, and this decision reflects that.'
The Texas Workforce Commission said the court's ruling was 'flawed and overlooks substantial evidence' that shows the developers are violating the Fair Housing Act.

One piece at a time. They are patient. At the rate they’re going they’ll have half the country in 10 years.
A Travis County judge. Isn’t Travis County the county of Austin, far removed from anywhere near Dallas?
How does Moscow on the Bravos area judges get to rule on land disputes far from their own county?
Appeal ho.
What the h*ll is happening in this country? A Muslim city in the heart of Texas. A Muslim commie mayor of NYC. A black Muslim from Kenya was President.
Every Muslim should be deported.
This is a spiritual conflict. It requires major prayer to combat.
Judge said the state must comply with developers.
Decoded: Cash flow without traces
Texas has a mandatory venue law where lawsuits against state agencies are to be filed in Travis County.
Building a planned city is legal. Instituting Sharia law is not, and conspiracy to institute Sharia law also is not.
All built and run with Taxpayer Funds ?
“Planned Muslim mega city in the heart of Texas wins huge victory and gets a step closer to becoming reality”. I wonder if any Jews plan to live there.
>> This is a spiritual conflict. It requires major prayer to combat.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It also requires the Ekklesia (against which the gates of hell shall not prevail!) to step up and fight. Example: the muslims buy houses and turn them into “Islamic learning centers”. Where are the “Christian learning centers”?
It should (rightly) be declared that Islam does not meet the definition of religion as described in the 1st Amendment. The evil and destructive ideology must be banned from our soil.
they are using religion as a way to circumvent, many so called religious organizations are doing this, from a local stand point toa larger one We need to recognize and move against it
As a voting Texan I can tell you that we do not want Muslim cities and their sharia laws. What we want is all muslims deported before they turn us into another europe.
THIS IS AMERICA, do not fing come here unless you want to be an AMERICAN!!!
Texas has been under assault for decades as far back as that idiot Bush was the governor. We are getting illegals, muzzies, sikhs, hindus, asians, africans, and loads of dims from other states moving here in droves and changing the political landscape. So far, the rural and smaller town areas have been offsetting that, but it is inevitable the more losers that move here to D/FW, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio we will be outvoted. I give it 10 years or so. The town I live near grew by 25,000 since 2012 and it isn’t mostly real Americans.
