The obligation

What the contract requires.

“To maintain from the date of completion of the Project until the Termination Date an employment level of not less than twenty (20) full-time employees”Executed agreement, p. 5
“Trans-load Facility Expansion $150,000,000”Executed agreement, p. 5
The remedy

The agreement terminates.

“In the event JEFFERSON allows its ad valorem taxes on the Project owed the COUNTY to become delinquent and fails to timely and properly follow the legal procedures for their protest and appeal, or if JEFFERSON violates any of the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT and fails to cure during the Cure Period, this AGREEMENT may then be terminated.”Executed agreement, p. 7

This clause ends the agreement. It states no repayment of money already received.

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.

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.
