Overview
- A Travis County judge ordered the Texas Workforce Commission to comply with a 2025 fair‑housing settlement with Community Capital Partners and let the developer’s lawsuit proceed, which developers say allows them to restart public outreach.
- The Meadow, formerly EPIC City, is a 402‑acre plan near Josephine with more than 1,000 homes plus a mosque, a faith‑based K–12 school, clinics, retail, apartments and assisted living.
- The Texas Workforce Commission called the ruling flawed, said it will appeal, and noted a federal HUD investigation remains active, while Governor Greg Abbott said Texas has appealed and claimed the decision is halted.
- Separate state actions have stalled key infrastructure, including a Collin County injunction that bars the proposed municipal utility district from acting, a local financing tool that pays for water and sewer systems.
- After a watchdog report alleging tax, civil‑rights and housing violations and exclusive marketing to Muslims, Rep. Keith Self urged IRS and DOJ probes, while developers denied wrongdoing and said all buyers are welcome.
