What the contract says happens.

“any Program Grant Payment paid by the County to Developer pursuant to Section 5(a) of this Agreement but for which performance is not completed by Developer shall become immediately due and payable by the Developer 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.
