The obligation

What the contract requires.

“or (ii1) at City’s option upon the failure to Complete Construction of the Project Facility on or before January 1, 2029”Executed agreement, p. 5
“Messer shall maintain an annual minimum total payroll (excluding benefits) for at least sixteen (16) FTEs”Executed agreement, p. 9
The repayment remedy

What happens if it is not met.

“recapture from Messer the grant payments made pursuant to this Agreement, less the amount of any PILOT that Messer has been paid if such default occurs within the Economic Development Grant Incentive Period”Executed agreement, p. 12

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.
