“a minimum investment of Ninety Million and No/100 Dollars ($90,000,000.00)”Executed agreement, p. 4

What happens if it is not met.

“In the event the Owner defaults and is unable or unwilling to cure said default with the prescribed time period, the financial assistance provided pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement shall become immediately due and payable by the Owner to the County.”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.
