What happens if it is not met.

“City, ESD8, and BEDC shall have the right to {i} suspend the Sales Tax Incentive Payments, the Property Tax Incentive Payments, and the ESD8 Payment until the default is cured; provided that such amounts will be paid to Company upon the curing of the default, or (ii) terminate the Agreement and terminate the Sales Tax Incentive Payments, the Property Tax Incentive Payments, and the ESD8 Payment which have accrued aft”Executed agreement, p. 13

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.
