Called "EPIC City," the planned community could be built on top of 400 acres near Josephine between Collin and Hunt counties. Its website describes it as "a community aimed at serving the needs of the Muslim community" and includes 1,000 homes, a K-12 faith-based school, a mosque, apartments, shops, and even a community college.

But in a February 27 letter to Attorney General Ken Paxton, State Representative Jeff Leach cited "reports" that Sharia law might be a part of the project and told Paxton "I trust that your office will give this matter the attention it deserves."
