None of the provided sources reports an imam in Texas saying they intend to conquer Texas or control children's minds. The Context Corner piece notes that Rep. Keith Self did not identify the imams he was talking about, and the Chron piece calls a comedian's similar 'conquest of Texas' allegations inaccurate, but no source examines this specific statement.
A guest makes this claim. Listeners heard it, so it counts against the post, and on the guest's own record.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… But I don't think we should be importing millions of people who actively want to destroy our entire way of life, and they don't even try to hide it anymore. Like you said about Texas, if you look at some of these imams and what they're saying publicly, they're not even trying to hide it anymore. They're just overtly saying that they're going to conquer Texas. In fact, they said they don't even care about what the parents think; they're going to control the minds of the children. They say these things. Well, and Wade, you you brought up this clip, and it's it's something that Blake brings up a lot, so I don't know, Blake, if you want to say something about that. …

Contradicts. The Chron article says a comedian's 'conquest of Texas' allegations were largely inaccurate ('Not exactly'), and that he falsely listed alleged developments within Texas. This addresses a related broad allegation, not the specific imam statements claimed.[1]
Context. Context Corner reports that Rep. Keith Self said imams are preaching 'open sedition' and that Muslims intend to gain control of institutions, but states that Self did not identify the imams, organizations or officials involved and that the interview does not prove the claims.[2]
Context. A Texas Policy Foundation piece quotes Yasir Qadhi, an imam in Texas, on the goal of getting kids into fields and 'replacing the people in power.' This is a loosely related statement about children and influence, not a claim of conquering Texas or controlling children's minds.[3]
Context. MEMRI-compiled material reports on Texas imams' sermons and rhetoric, including praise for Khamenei and calls to 'jihad,' but does not show any statement about conquering Texas or controlling children's minds.[4]
