The repayment remedy

What happens if it is not met.

“recapture all grant payments (if any) that were made under this Agreement”Executed agreement, p. 8

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.
