Houston Man Arrested on Felony Stalking Charge After Months of Trinkets Left at Woman’s Home

Court records cite security video with corroborating identifications to tie Jorge Escalante Rivera to repeated visits.

Overview

  • Records show the third-degree felony stalking charge was filed on Jan. 8, and Precinct One Constable Alan Rosen says Rivera has been arrested.
  • Incidents documented from June through December 2025 involved items and notes left at the northwest Houston home, with a final set discovered after Christmas when the victim returned on Jan. 1.
  • Court filings describe trinkets such as figurines, a Jessie doll, a crucifix, and a broom marked with a Halloween message, along with notes declaring affection and phrases referenced from Spanish-language culture.
  • The victim reported feeling harassed and fearful, retained a lawyer and a private investigator, and provided leads that connected Rivera to a lawn service previously used at her home.
  • Investigators say neighbors and a former employer confirmed his identity, a deputy attempted contact in November, and court records list an ICE detainer with a March 23 Harris County court date.
