    Litigation: Bayaan Academy v. Hancock, 4:26-cv-01960 (S.D. Tex.) — motion to dismiss pending; trial set Jul 12, 2027

    Islamic schools and parents sued over their exclusion from the program. On March 17, 2026 the court granted a temporary restraining order in part, and the application deadline was extended to March 31, 2026. Cherkaoui v. Paxton (4:26-cv-01675) was consolidated into this case the same day. On June 18, 2026 the plaintiffs filed a notice passing the preliminary-injunction hearing, and the court cancelled the hearing on June 21. The state's motion to dismiss (June 26, 2026) is pending. The June 12, 2026 scheduling order sets a jury trial for July 12, 2027; on October 2, 2026 the parties filed an agreed motion to modify that schedule, so the trial date may change.

    Jury trial setting from the June 12, 2026 scheduling order (Judge Bennett). An agreed motion to change the schedule was filed on October 2, 2026.
