Judge Halts Islamic Development in Texas

It's April 1st.

A judge in Collin County just slapped the temporary injunction on the double-arm municipal

utility district, halting their push to back a controversial Islamic development called

Epic City.

This comes right after a restraining order last month blocked their board meeting, with

a full trial locked in for November 16th, 20th, 26th.

The injunction bills on that order, wiping out any board decisions made after September

12th, 2025.

Officials say the board members, like Yaneli Molina and others, didn't even own property

in the district's original boundaries, violating Texas water.

Attorney General Ken Paxton is calling it a win, saying his office proved these directors

were illegally placed to fast track the project and dodge.

The district can't sign contracts, issue bonds, hold meetings, or reorganize until the

court says otherwise.

This ties into a bigger pushback from Governor Greg Abbott and state leaders against

Epic City, a planned Muslim-focused community with a mosque and K through 12 school.

They've raised the alarms over potential sharia influences, sparking investigations into

local city ties, and even federal looks that got dropped.

With the board sideline and more probes rolling, Texas is drawing a hard line on these

developments, keeping the heat on until that trial drops the final word.
