Court records reveal disputed ownership claims on nine Harris County homes
A Heights home tied to the Lee Gilley murder case is one of nine Harris County properties now linked to Matthew Jackson’s ownership claims. Police were called after locks changed and cameras appeared.
A Heights home tied to the Lee Gilley murder case is one of nine Harris County properties now linked to ownership claims by Matthew Jackson and Save A Life Homes, LLC. After Christa Bauer Gilley died in October 2024 and Lee Gilley was charged in her death before fleeing to Italy, the Allston Street house stayed in probate, and someone else moved in, changed the locks and installed cameras.
Houston police were called after the unexpected possession of the home in the Houston Heights. Officers spoke to a man through a doorbell camera who said he owned the house and would prove it in court, turning a probate dispute into a live possession fight at a property still tied to a homicide case.
Jackson is linked to paperwork on eight other houses. Among them is a home on Coltwood Drive in Spring, where children were supposed to inherit after their father died, and a Glen Valley property in Houston with similar signs and cameras. Jackson and Save A Life Homes are also linked to a claimed ownership interest in a Memorial-area home valued at about $1.7 million.
