OPINION

McCLURE, Justice.

This is an appeal from a summary judgment granted against Gregory Collins in favor of El Paso County, County Judge Aicia Chacon, and Commissioners Stuart Schwartz and Orlando Fonseca (collectively “The County”). In a declaratory judgment action, the trial court ruled as a matter of law that the County’s attempted sale of real estate to Collins was void because the County had failed to comply with the procedures required by the Local Government Code, and that as a result, the County had no duty to close the sale. We reverse and remand.
