EPIC City developers hire defense lawyer

by | Apr 10, 2025 | Area news, Latest

Houston lawyer Dan Cogdell, who successfully defended Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton against impeachment charges two years ago, is now defending a proposed Islamic community against an investigation by Paxton.

“This project is simply the victim of racial profiling,” Cogdell said after being retained by Community Capital Partners, the developer of EPIC City and EPIC Ranch in rural Hunt and Collin Counties.

The project linked to the East Plano Islamic Center would include 1,000 homes, a school, a mosque, a senior living center and retail space on 402 acres outside the Josephine city limits.
