Agreement 0001890, filed with the Texas Comptroller by Ellis County.
Texas Government Code 2264 requires this provision in every such agreement. It is triggered by employing unauthorised workers, not by missing a build or jobs target. The contract records no repayment remedy for the obligations above.
A local abatement waives only that taxing unit’s share of the property tax bill. School districts, counties, cities and hospital districts each sign separately.
