Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Monday that he was investigating whether a development project linked to a Dubai-based company was going to be a “sharia city.”  
Paxton, a Republican, said he was taking action to examine a development underway in Kaufman, Texas, about 34 miles southeast of Dallas. The development drew attention after an American subsidiary of the Dubai-based SEE Holdings purchased thousands of acres of land near Kaufman, and claims circulated that up to 20,000 foreign nationals would be moving there. 
“There will be no ‘sharia city’ in Texas under my watch,” Paxton said. “While you’re on American soil, you will obey America’s laws. I have launched this investigation to determine the nature of this development in Kaufman County and will be thoroughly investigating this matter for any unlawful actions.” 
The land was purchased in connection with the Delaware-based Kaufman Solar, Paxton <a href="https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/news/releases/attorney-general-ken-paxton-announces-investigation-potentially-illegal-sharia-city-development">said</a>. Paxton has requested information from SEE Holdings and Kaufman Solar, including communications with the city and government officials, the relationship between the two companies, and details on the planned development. 
Paxton’s investigation comes after The Daily Caller published a <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2026/02/04/kaufman-solar-llc-texas-plano-epic-sustainable-city-dubai-saudi-middle-east/">report</a> noting concerns from residents that there could be up to 20,000 foreign nationals coming to the “sustainable” development.
Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX) told The Daily Caller that SEE Holdings contacted him about the development. 
“The group reached out to me, and I said under no circumstances would we accept any planned community that included mosques or religious buildings or schools. Twenty thousand foreigners is news to me, but that would also be a nonstarter, obviously,” he told the outlet. 
“If they were from New York and not Dubai, then we likely wouldn’t be concerned, but considering what our neighboring counties have been through, they’re going to have to actively involve the community to get buy-in, and that has yet to happen,” he added. 
Kaufman Solar is a limited liability company registered in Delaware that was founded in August 2022. Its registered agent is the Delaware-based Nextera Registered Agency, and <a href="https://kaufmancountytx.new.swagit.com/videos/320652">minutes</a> from Kaufman County commissioner meetings show that NextEra Energy Resources represented Kaufman Solar during talks with city officials. 
The Daily Wire reached out to SEE Holdings and NextEra Energy Resources. They did not immediately respond to requests for comment. 
After publication, NextEra Energy Resources told The Daily Wire that neither it &#8220;nor Kaufman Solar is affiliated with or involved in the proposed sustainable city development in Kaufman County.&#8221;
Last year, Paxton launched a similar investigation into EPIC City, a planned Muslim community in northern Texas. Paxton sued in December to stop construction of the city, alleging that developers violated state securities laws. The developers have denied any wrongdoing. 
“The leaders behind EPIC City have engaged in a radical plot to destroy hundreds of acres of beautiful Texas land and line their own pockets,” Paxton said. “I will relentlessly bring the full force of the law against anyone who thinks they can ignore the rules and hurt Texans.”
In recent months, Republican lawmakers have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republicans-take-stand-against-sharia-law-with-new-house-caucus">stepped up calls</a> for the need to ban Sharia law in the United States. Last week, House Republicans launched the Sharia Free America Caucus, saying that Islamic law was incompatible with the Constitution.
