The obligation

What the contract requires.

“Failure of the Applicant to receive its Certificate of Occupancy and meet its Full Time Employment job requirements for the year 2015 by December 31, 2015, shall result in the immediate termination of this Agreement.”Executed agreement, p. 3
“Year 7-10 (2021-2024): Four Hundred Forty-Five (445)”Executed agreement, p. 14
“Applicant agrees that it shall make or cause to be made Qualified Expenditures of not less than Twenty One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($21,000,000.00)”Executed agreement, p. 3
The repayment remedy

What happens if it is not met.

“then all Grant Payments previously provided by the County pursuant to this Agreement shall be recaptured and repaid by Applicant within sixty (60) days from the date of such termination.”Executed agreement, p. 6

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.
