The obligation

What the contract requires.

“Failure of the COMPANY or its Affiliates to receive its Certificate of Occupancy and meet its Full Time Employment job requirements as noted in EXHIBIT C within three (3) years of the Effective Date of this Agreement, shall result in the immediate termination of this Agreement.”Executed agreement, p. 4
“Schedule of Full Time Employment Year | Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Years 6-10 Total 13 15 17 19 21 21 Full Time Employment”Executed agreement, p. 19
“Minimum Investment: The words “Minimum Investment” mean those costs incurred by COMPANY or third parties in the construction or furnishing of the improvements for the Project, to include cash and in-kind contributions in an amount no less than EIGHT MILLION and 00/100 DOLLARS ($8,000,000.00).”Executed agreement, p. 3
The repayment remedy

What happens if it is not met.

“Furthermore, COUNTY has the right to recapture any previous Grant payments made to COMPANY as outlined in this section.”Executed agreement, p. 9

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.
