OPINION

LESLIE B. YATES, Justice.

This proceeding arises out of an inverse condemnation dispute. Appellant Southwestern Bell Telephone, L.P. (SWBT) claims the county court at law erred in granting appellee Harris County's plea to the jurisdiction. Because we conclude the county court had jurisdiction over SWBT's inverse condemnation claim, we reverse and remand.
