AUSTIN (January 26, 2010)--Gov. Rick Perry's office revealed Tuesday that it changed 11 Texas Enterprise Fund contracts with companies that got taxpayer-funded grants to create jobs in Texas and that two other companies, including mortgage giant Countrywide, ended their Texas contracts for "business reasons."

The governor's office made the announcement late Tuesday, shortly after learning that a report was about to be released by the non-profit watchdog group Texans for Public Justice.

That report detailed companies' enterprise fund agreements that weren't fulfilled and also lists the companies that had their contracts with the state amended to reduce their job creation goals or give them more time to fulfill their promises.

The group planned to release its report Wednesday.

It examines the companies' performance in 2008, as the recession took hold in Texas.
