Texas Muslim Development Faces Federal, State Probes | JQJO

The Department of Justice and Texas state officials are investigating the proposed EPIC City Muslim housing development in North Texas. Concerns raised include potential religious discrimination violating the Texas Fair Housing Act, investor harm, and consumer protection law violations. Governor Greg Abbott alleges the project creates a "no-go zone," while developers insist it's an open community. The development, planned for Collin and Hunt counties, includes housing, a mosque, school, and other amenities. Investigations are underway despite no construction having begun, fueling concerns about delays and Islamophobic misinformation.
