Tussle over EPIC City lawsuit | A&M’s never cared much for WT | Texas adds more jobs – Pratt on Texas 12/11/2025

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: I held off on this story all week because it was confusing. The press release from the State Securities Board came across to me as a head-scratcher that looked a bit like an insider political hit on Paxton. Now I think that is the case even more as I wasn’t the only one confused by the Board’s odd comments and ruling over the Muslim “EPIC City” development. This very good story from the Dallas Morning News shows I wasn’t the only one wondering about this: AG Ken Paxton, state agency clash over ‘EPIC City’ development lawsuit.

Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.

Texas jobs reports show continued adding of jobs (21,700) in the Lone Star State with the unemployment rate remaining steady at 4.1 percent.

More evidence that the Texas A&M System doesn’t care much for West Texas (WT) or the NW region of the state: West Texas A&M University, Texas A&M System to end Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum. The money to fix the state’s oldest state museum is almost a rounding error in the A&M system budget.
