The obligation

What the contract requires.

“Completion of Construction shall occur on or before December 31, 2026.”Executed agreement, p. 8
“WHEREAS, Lender will loan Borrower Thirty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($35,000.00), for the creation of at least 15 primary jobs at Borrower's Property;”Executed agreement, p. 28
“Reimbursement for Qualified Expenditures Made to Property. The Borrower covenants and agrees to submit to the Lender invoices, receipts or other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Lender for Qualified Expenditures made for the Property in a reimbursable amount not to exceed Thirty-Five Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($35,000.00)”Executed agreement, p. 30
The repayment remedy

What happens if it is not met.

“Providence shall repay the amount of the public subsidy provided under this Agreement plus interest, at the rate of eight percent (8%)”Executed agreement, p. 14

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.
