OPINION

HILL, Justice (Assigned).

Mike Colton appeals from a summary judgment declaring that certain restrictive covenants in a document entitled “Easement and Covenants Restricting Land” (ECRL) are unenforceable and granting reasonable and necessary attorney’s fees to Silsbee State Bank, the party seeking the declaratory judgment. Colton presents five points of error in which he contends the trial court erred by granting the summary judgment because there are genuine issues of material fact and because he is not barred by limitations from enforcing the covenants contained in the ECRL.
