The obligation

What the contract requires.

“Company or a Company Affiliate covenant to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to substantially complete, or cause to be substantially completed, the Project on or before December 31, 2019”Executed agreement, p. 6
“Company agrees to create employment at the Project for at least five people on a permanent basis.”Executed agreement, p. 6

The repayment remedy

What happens if it is not met.

“if Company fails to meet the Construction Covenant, Company shall repay to the County, without penalty or interest, all tax abatements received 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.
