	H.R. No. 830



	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, RVOS Farm Mutual Insurance Company is celebrating
	the 110th anniversary of its founding on April 23, 2011; and
	WHEREAS, In 1901, nine Texans of Czech descent who farmed
	land in the Temple vicinity founded the Rolnicky Vzajemne Ochranny
	Spolek Statu Texasu, or the Farmers Mutual Protective Association
	of Texas, pooling their resources to start a basic fire insurance
	protection program for farmers and rural citizens; in 1933, the
	association extended its coverage to city property as well, and in
	1946 it opened an office in Temple; and
	WHEREAS, Now known as RVOS Farm Mutual Insurance, the company
	continues to be owned by its policyholders, a group that has grown
	to more than 68,000; and
	WHEREAS, Locally owned and operated companies like RVOS Farm
	Mutual Insurance Company are critical to the economic prosperity of
	the state, and for more than a century, RVOS has provided security
	and peace of mind for many Texas families; its longevity is a
	measure of its commendable record of success and its noteworthy
	contributions to its community; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
	Legislature hereby commemorate the 110th anniversary of the
	founding of RVOS Farm Mutual Insurance Company and extend to its
	officers and members sincere best wishes for continued success;
	and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for the company as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas House of Representatives.
