The obligation

Terms the contract defines.

““Completion Deadline” means on or before December 31, 2024.”Executed agreement, p. 2

“Create and maintain no less than two (2) new permanent jobs located in Brazoria County.”Executed agreement, p. 4

“Expend no less than $202,500,000.00 on Development Costs for the Project.”Executed agreement, p. 4

The dated sentence above defines a term used elsewhere in the contract. It is recorded here as a definition, not as a performance obligation.

The repayment remedy

What happens if it is not met.

“Cradle Solar shall reimburse the County the full amount of the Chapter 381 Payments for each year (or portion of a year) for which the initial seven (7) year Term exceeded one half of the Actual Productive Life of the Project.”Executed agreement, p. 4

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.
