Texas Scorecard by Grant Halk June 19, 2026
Texas Republicans have established stopping Sharia law as a legislative priority for 2027.As the Texas Republican Party of Texas wrapped up the 2026 GOP Convention, delegates made fighting the influence of Sharia law a priority for the 2027 legislative session.
In the 2026 Permanent Rules, Platform and Resolutions, and Legislative Committees Report, the GOP listed specific ways to outlaw the foreign legal framework.
One suggestion by Republican delegates is for the federal government to denaturalize and deport advocates of Sharia law.
Delegates also want to ban taxpayer-funding from being granted to programs or entities that advocate for a Sharia law-based system, as it conflicts with the national and state constitutions. They also advised banning taxpayer-funded institutions such as schools from providing meals in accordance with Sharia.
Another part of the priority includes stopping any economic or residential developments that advocate for Sharia and discriminate against individuals who do not submit to it, which became a national topic of discussion with the EPIC City development in North Texas.
EPIC City, now rebranded as The Meadow, is a planned development that features 1,000 homes, a mosque, and a school. The initial marketing for the community offered Muslim families “more than just a neighborhood” but rather a “way of life.”
