All About Us
Founded in 1994 by Jesse James Thomas, Legacy Acres Ranch was built on five acres of Texas soil, faith, and hard work. With his own hands, Jesse crafted 18 horse stalls so local families could have a safe, welcoming place to ride and care for their horses. Before long, the ranch expanded — leasing 16 acres from Houston Light & Power Company, now known as Centerpoint Energy, to wide open green pastures for grazing and trail rides.
Today, Jesse’s descendants continue that legacy — honoring our faith, our animals, and our community. Through the Jesse James Trail, we share the spirit of the Black Cowboy, the beauty of God’s creation, and the joy that comes from working with the land and the creatures He blessed us with.
Here, history rides side by side with hope — and everyone is welcome to saddle up and be part of the story.
