Securtec challenged Gregg County's award of a jail renovation contract to CMI, alleging violations of competitive bidding statutes (Texas Local Government Code § 262.030). Securtec claimed Gregg County failed to specify the relative importance of pricing and other evaluation factors, and denied Securtec fair and equal treatment regarding proposal revisions. The appellate court found that material fact issues existed regarding Gregg County's compliance with bidding procedures, sustaining Securtec's points of error related to declaratory judgment. However, the court affirmed the dismissal of Securtec's claims for compensatory damages, stating that such relief is unavailable for statutory or constitutional violations in this context, as bidding statutes primarily protect the public interest. The summary judgment denying declaratory judgment was reversed and remanded for a new trial, while the denial of compensatory damages was affirmed.
