The obligation

What the contract requires.

“if the first phase of the Facility, with an assessed value of at least $50,000,000 is not constructed by December 31, 2022”Executed agreement, p. 3
“intends to create up to 4,000 Full-Time Equivalent Jobs”Executed agreement, p. 1
“expend at least $400,000,000 for the purchase of real property (“Land”), as described on the attached Exhibit “A”, and the construction thereon of buildings and other improvements”Executed agreement, p. 1
The repayment remedy

What happens if it is not met.

“County may recapture and collect from Company the amount(s) of Grants already paid by County to Company for the one (1) year directly preceding the date of the notice of default”Executed agreement, p. 6

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.
