 In the summer of 2006, a group of Von Ormy residents led by Art Martinez de Vara and Charles Minor Brown organized a series of public meetings in Von Ormy concerning the future of the community, the lack of basic public services and possible solutions to these problems.Support for the creation of a City of Von Ormy was expressed by attendees at these three meetings.In order to pursue this community desire, the Committee to Incorporate Von Ormy (CIVO), a Texas non-profit association, was organized.
