The obligation

What the contract requires.

“shall be made in the project subject to this Agreement no later than December 31, 2028”Executed agreement, p. 2
“create at least TWENTY-FIVE (25) new full-time primary jobs”Executed agreement, p. 2
“a minimum capital investment of EIGHT MILLION, DOLLARS ($8,000,000.00)”Executed agreement, p. 2
The repayment remedy

What happens if it is not met.

“If during the Abatement Term the Owner/Grantee permanently ceases operation in Lufkin, Texas, then the County shall be entitled to recapture ONE HUNDRED PERCENT (100%) of the taxes abated”Executed agreement, p. 7

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.
