Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced on March 26, 2025, that the Texas Funeral Service Commission has issued a cease-and-desist letter to the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC), ordering an immediate halt to what officials describe as "illegal funeral service operations." The action marks the second in a series of investigations into EPIC and its proposed 402-acre development known as "EPIC City." The cease-and-desist letter has been forwarded to the local district attorney's office for potential prosecution, escalating the state's scrutiny of the Islamic center's activities.
