Agreement 0002493, filed with the Texas Comptroller by Crane County, Texas.

85–90%of Added Value of Eligible Property abated
The repayment remedy

What happens if it is not met.

“As liquidated damages in the event of default, all abated taxes for the years covered by this Agreement (interest will be charged at the statutory rate for delinquent taxes as determined by the laws of the State of Texas) shall be refunded to the County”Executed agreement, p. 6

Where a deadline above has passed, no public record exists of whether it was met — not in the Comptroller’s filings, nor in the local government’s own disclosures. That is not evidence of non-compliance. Texas requires nobody to record it.
