What the contract requires.

“The capital investments related to the Personal Property contemplated by this Paragraph 3.02 must be completed on or before January 1, 2028, subject to Force Majeure.”Executed agreement, p. 6
“OWNER covenants and agrees that it will create and fill not less than five (5) new Employment Positions in Wichita County over and above the Employment Baseline”Executed agreement, p. 8
“OWNER agrees that its capital investment in: i) the Real Property and Personal Property will be in an amount not less than FOURTEEN MILLION SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($14,600,000.00).”Executed agreement, p. 6
The repayment remedy

What happens if it is not met.

“In addition, OWNER must repay the COUNTY taxes previously abated pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with the recapture schedule set out in this Paragraph 7.03 below (the “Recapture Schedule”).”Executed agreement, p. 13

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.
