The repayment remedy

“Messer shall repay all grant funds paid by the County to Messer for the five (5) years prior to the termination within thirty (30) days written notice.”Executed agreement, p. 3

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.
