The obligation

What the contract requires.

“GOYA shall, by January 1, 2023 and until the expiration of this Agreement, continuously operate and maintain the Premises as a manufacturing facility.”Executed agreement, p. 3
“at least fifteen (15) new Employees”Executed agreement, p. 3
“Hydrostatic Cooker $10,000,000”Executed agreement, p. 21
The repayment remedy

What happens if it is not met.

“terminate this Agreement, and the County, in such event, shall be entitled to recapture any and all property taxes which have been abated”Executed agreement, p. 8

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.
