The obligation

What the contract requires.

“certificate of occupancy for the Facility is not obtained from the City of Leander by August 31, 2019”Executed agreement, p. 3
“the Company intends to create up to 160 Full-Time Equivalent positions”Executed agreement, p. 1
“increase the taxable value of the Property including the Facility and all furniture, fixtures and equipment located on the Property by at least $10,000,000”Executed agreement, p. 1
The repayment remedy

What happens if it is not met.

“In the event that Company is in default of this Agreement, the County may recapture and collect from Company the Grant payments previously made to Company”Executed agreement, p. 7

The remedy here is discretionary — the clause says it may be applied, not that it must be.

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.
