In 2006 ICR decided to move to [[Texas]] but then encountered the same difficulties. In April 2008 the Academic Excellence and Research Committee of the Texas Higher-Education Coordinating Board voted unanimously to deny the ICR Graduate School's application for accreditation.

ICR might appeal the process administratively, submit a new proposal, or sue the State of Texas for injunctive relief.
