Agreement 0014185, filed with the Texas Comptroller by City of Gatesville.

40–100%of ad valorem taxes assessed by City against the Property abated
one (1) year after Commencement of Constructionperformance deadline
The obligation

What the contract requires.

“cause Completion of Construction of the Project to occur on or before one (1) year after Commencement of Construction”Executed agreement, p. 7
The repayment remedy

What happens if it is not met.

“Company shall within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of termination refund to City an amount equal to one hundred (100%) percent of the cumulative total value of the Grants paid by City to Company under this Agreement”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.
