AG Paxton Demands Epic City Documents from Plano ISD

April 24, 2025 – Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has demanded that Plano Independent School District (ISD) officials provide documents related to potential communications with individuals associated with the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) and its affiliated development project, EPIC City. This request is part of an ongoing investigation into EPIC City, a proposed 402-acre Muslim-centered residential development near Josephine, Texas, initiated by EPIC and managed through its entity, Community Capital Partners.

The Attorney General’s office was informed of comments made by Plano Mayor John Muns regarding facilitating dialogue between Plano ISD board officials and individuals at EPIC. In response, Paxton stated, “My office is demanding documents from Plano ISD officials who may have communicated with individuals involved with EPIC City as part of our ongoing investigation into this development”.

Plano ISD has indicated its willingness to cooperate with the Attorney General’s request. A district spokesperson noted, “While we are unaware of the specific conversations mentioned in the Attorney General’s press release earlier today, the district will fully cooperate with any requests received from the Attorney General’s office”.

This development follows previous records requests sent to city officials in Plano, Richardson, Wylie, and Josephine, Texas, as part of the broader investigation into EPIC City. The project has attracted political scrutiny, with concerns raised about potential violations of Texas state law.

EPIC City is designed to feature over 1,000 residential units, a mosque, a K-12 faith-based school, a community college, and commercial shopping facilities. The development aims to create a diverse and inclusive community where people of various backgrounds can coexist harmoniously.

The investigation remains ongoing, and further details will be released as they become available.
