Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing a Muslim university, alleging the Dallas-area school is misrepresenting itself as a university, offering degrees it is not authorized to grant, and misleading prospective students about its legitimacy.
In the May 18 lawsuit filed in Collin County District Court, Paxton asked for a temporary restraining order and an injunction to stop Texas American Muslim University (TexAM) from operating. Additionally, the state is suing for more than $1 million in civil penalties for violations of the Deceptive Trade Practices Act and the Texas Education Code.
