Private Investigator — Tim D. Wilson (Sr.) Investigations, Houston

This video is so bad, it’s laughable, in our opinion (Click the embedded video above to play, or watch on YouTube: Private Investigator — Tim D. Wilson Investigates).

A 1-minute, 42-second video of what, exactly? Stock music of some sort of vaguely ominous chords from a cello and a violin repeating over and over again? Stock photos of all kinds of stuff — vineyards, yachts, an obviously staged photo of a woman being “abducted”, a photo of a tape recorder from about 40 years ago? Seriously?

What a joke, in our humble opinion. Yeah, that’ll really suck in the high-end clients, won’t it, Tim D. Wilson Sr.?

The Two Tim Wilsons — Sr. and Jr., both “Private Eyes” — or PIs for Private Investigators: A Backgrounder on Both

This is a little confusing — really a little hard to follow more than confusing. But still … there are two Tim Wilsons we’re addressing in these pages and posts within this website.

1. Tim Wilson Jr., 39 years old — He’s followed in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, before him, Tim and Clyde Wilson. Clyde also was regarded in Houston as a “legendary” private eye. Tim Wilson Sr. & Jr., not so much. The apple seems to have fallen far from the legendary Clyde Wilson’s tree.

Tim Wilson Jr. also goes by Tim D. Wilson, just like his father. He runs a private investigation service in Houston separate from his father. It’s known as both as “Wilson Investigations,” and “International Guard Services.” Both are run by Tim Wilson Jr., as you can see from that previous link, which goes to his LinkedIn page.

When it comes to both the Wilsons, there are divorces, liens, judgments, bankruptcies, repossessions … you name it, they’ve got it. Scofflaw, in our opinion, is the term most appropriately applied to these two. The dictionary definition of a scofflaw is, “a person who flouts the law, especially by failing to comply with a law that is difficult to enforce effectively.”

Much more to come detailing the parts of the Wilsons’ lives that they don’t want you to see. Time to start digging.

2: Tim Wilson Sr., 62 years old — Supposedly a Private Investigator, or Private Eye, who walks on water in Houston, Texas. At least that’s how he’s alleged to be regarded. Ask around that circle of similar types — investigators for hire, who try to ferret out information for their clients — and you’ll find that he’s well known and a little feared. Maybe respected, in an odd way, is a better term.

The information that these “PI’s” like Wilson ferret out is usually nefarious stuff, stuff that the people being investigated — really, spied on in most instances — don’t want to come to light.

Well, Tim Wilson Sr. has a long history of digging up dirt on people. And allegedly he has clout with many regarded as society’s elite in Houston and in the state of Texas as well. People at the top levels of Houston city government allegedly at the very least allow him wide leeway in the conduct of his business, if not outright support him with their influence and favors. Similarly that’s alleged at the Texas state level, too. Money often is involved, as you might suspect. And there’s a lot of “looking the other way” going on, too. All underpinned by decades of Tim Wilson Sr. plying his tradecraft in the Houston area. He allegedly has cache at the national, federal level as well, having worked in counter terrorism, narcotics and gang identification.

Online, and on his website, he goes by Tim D. Wilson. You can see it here: TWPI
And his Facebook page: TWPI — FB

So that makes the identity separation between father and son even more confusing. They don’t go by Sr. or Jr. that often, just by their names — Tim Wilson. Although sometimes, junior uses the “Jr.” moniker.

Tim Wilson Sr. also is a Principle in a separate entity known as Acuity Security. They have a couple paragraphs of a bio on him, which reads:

“Tim D. Wilson Sr. enjoyed a decorated career in law enforcement working with the United States government and local law enforcement agencies. During his law enforcement career he worked in counter-terrorism, narcotics and gang identification.

“Mr. Wilson has since gone into the private sector and has worked with numerous governments throughout the world to thwart terrorism and narcotic trafficking. Mr. Wilson has successfully set up counter-terrorism and undercover gang operations in numerous countries. He has also set up security and counter-terrorism units for several large oil companies throughout the wold and helped maintain security of pipeline production.

“Mr. Wilson is a licensed arms dealer and has equipped law enforcement and governmental agencies and helped train the officers and agents in many foreign countries. Mr. Wilson maintains close ties with the United States government.”

Well, there you have it.

Tim Wilson Sr. — Not the Lone Survivor

You can learn a lot about a person and their familial relationships in an obituary.

Case in point is Clyde Wilson’s obit. Clyde is the father of Tim Wilson Sr. and grandfather to Tim Wilson Jr. Clyde Wilson passed away several years ago, on February 27, 2020 in Houston.

The obituary write up on Clyde, of course was very respectful and warm. (You can see it in full here: Clyde Wilson / Dignity Memorial.) It is also very revealing. As obits go, usually a very close family member will serve as the author. Often in consultation with other members of the family. You’d think that maybe a son, someone like Tim Wilson Sr., might write it up.

What’s significant about Clyde’s obit, however, is the noticeably underplayed and only once-mentioned reference to Tim Wilson Sr., Clyde’s son. And no mention of his paternal grandson and Tim Sr.’s son, Tim Wilson Jr.

Here’s how the list of the surviving members of Clyde Wilson’s family is written up, quoted verbatim from the obituary:

“Clyde is survived by his second wife, Alicia (Adair) Wilson and her daughter Ashley (Mace) Holmsten, her husband Walter “Russ” Holmsten II, and their children Hannah, Charlie, and Lorene and her son Brett Mace and his wife Jennifer (Kellough) Mace; his son, Joe Wilson, his wife Darien (Kubik) Wilson, and their children Zoe, Clark, and Rose of Highlands Ranch, CO and Georgetown, TX; his daughter, Janice Wilson-Coletta, her husband Vince Coletta, and their children Jenna, Carter, and Violet of Chalfont, PA; and his six brothers and sisters Ruth (Wilson) Winsor, Mary (Wilson) Bradley, Kathy (Wilson) Clinton and her husband P.M. Clinton, Henry Wilson and his wife Sharon (Smith) Wilson, Amy (Wilson) Von Blon and her husband Mike Von Blon, and Tim Wilson.”

(Our emphasis on the Tim Wilson name.)

Clyde’s son, Tim Wilson Sr. gets bottom billing here. He’s not even referred to as a son. Clyde’s other son and daughter — Joe and his family, including wife and children (Clyde’s grandchildren); Janice Wilson-Coletta and her husband and children) — are listed very prominently, and rightfully so. Literally everybody and their brother, sister, son, daughter, spouse, etc. is mentioned. And there’s poor Tim Wilson Sr. dragging up the rear. We can almost hear whoever wrote this obit begrudgingly say, “Alright, alright, I’ll put him in. See — at the very end, Tim Wilson. Okay?”

Wow. Tells you a lot, don’t you think? Tim Wilson Sr. — the very last name mentioned in a very long list of Clyde’s surviving family members. Seems like Tim Wilson Sr. was getting the middle finger not only from father, Clyde, but from the rest of the family, too. At least that’s the way we read it.

Tim D. Wilson Sr., Houston, — How Not to Handle a Divorce

The house at 441 Audubon St. New Orleans, Louisiana, that was part of a contentious divorce between Tim Wilson Sr. and his former wife, Frieda. (Google street view photo)

Frieda Wilson, Tim D. Wilson’s one-time wife, filed for divorce from Tim Sr. in July 2011. The divorce had been described as being contentious. It was contentious enough that Frieda, along with her petition for divorce, also filed a request for a “TRO” — a temporary restraining order. She requested that it be issued immediately and, quoting from her petition, “… without bond, according to law, prohibiting and enjoining Defendant, Timothy D. Wilson, his agents or assigns, from transferring, moving, disposing of, alienating, or otherwise encumbering any of the assets of the community of acquets and gains existing between Petitioner and Defendant, and that in due course preliminary arid permanent injunctions issue to the same effect. The term, acquets, in civil law, means self-acquired property.

So Frieda, in addition to trying to protect herself, also was trying to protect property from being removed or disposed of or somehow hidden from her.

Frieda was successful in obtaining a divorce from Tim Sr., which was finalized on October 24, 2012. The County Court of Waller County, Texas entered a Final Decree of Divorce that provided, among other things, that Frieda be permitted an “exclusive right of occupancy” with respect to the property until January 1, 2013. The property being referred to is 441 Audubon Street, New Orleans, Louisiana.

Concurrent with that, a couple entered into an agreement — a contract — to buy the house from Tim Sr., who was the legal owner, “on or before January 3, 2013.” That’s an awfully quick turnaround from Frieda’s “exclusive right of occupancy” of the property until January 1, 2013.

In the course of this attempted sale, the couple buying the property discovered that Tim Sr. was the debtor in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. Nice, Tim Sr. Nice going.

The couple also discovered that Frieda had an “exclusive right of occupancy” with respect to the Property until January 1, 2013. This “exclusive right of occupancy” prevented the couple from accessing the property for purposes of obtaining an appraisal. Legally, they had to hold off until January 2, 2013 to move forward with that appraisal. As a result, the couple and Tim Sr. entered into a 15-day extension of their purchase agreement, extending the closing date from January 3, 2013 to January 18, 2013.

But there was more to come. While preparing documents to get ready for the closing on January 18, the couple’s title attorney discovered that a $385,565.21 lien had been placed on it by the Internal Revenue Service — the IRS — because of Tim Sr.’s failure to pay federal income taxes in 2006 and 2007.

The couple allegedly tried to work with Tim Sr., as their statement in their lawsuit indicates, to get the IRS lien canceled so that they could move forward with purchasing the property but Tim Sr. either refused to cooperate or even respond to Plaintiffs’ repeated attempts to contact him. He cut off all communication with the couple.

This is all documented in a lawsuit filed by the couple against Tim D. Wilson. As all this was playing out into a frustrating course of events for the couple trying to purchase the property from Tim Wilson Sr., they further discovered that Tim Sr. had found another buyer who was willing to pay more for the property than the amount that Tim Wilson Sr. had agreed to in a contract to sell to them. The couple found that Tim Sr. had agreed to sell the property to a different buyer for $1.2 million — $135,000 more than he had agreed to sell the property to the couple for.

The couple took it upon themselves to (essentially they were forced to) expend a considerable amount of time, effort, and money getting involved in Tim Sr.’s bankruptcy proceeding, as well as trying to work with the IRS to have the lien removed, clear the title to the property, and thus enable the purchase to move forward. But the sale never happened.

The couple tried every legal maneuver they could, including attaching the purchase to Tim Wilson Sr.’s bankruptcy. However, before the bankruptcy court could consider their motion, the Chapter 11 case was dismissed as a result of Wilson’s failure to timely file a disclosure statement and confirm a plan of reorganization.

Tim Wilson Sr. defaulted on the purchase agreement that he and the couple both signed when he literally walked away from the deal while still under contract with the couple in order to sell the property to another buyer for more money.

In the lawsuit filed by the couple, they charged breach of contract, fraud, negligence, detrimental reliance, unjust enrichment.

You want to know who Tim Wilson Sr. is? This is a clear and shining example of the lack of character and level of underhandedness, in our opinion, that clearly shows the kind of man that Tim Wilson Sr. is.

Simply despicable, in our opinion.

Tim Wilson Jr. — Quite a Nice Houston-Area Home

Tim Wilson Jr.’s house in Lake Cypress Estates, northwest of the city of Houston.


Well, that’s a pretty palatial place. At 39 years old, ol’ Tim Wilson Jr. must be doing pretty well for himself in his private eye business, don’t you think? The money must be nice.

We’d call it a mansion, wouldn’t you?

Here’s how one realty company defines the term, mansion: “The typical real estate definition of a mansion is a home that offers at least 5,000 square feet of space and at least five to six bedrooms. Mansions typically sit on small acreage (homes set on vast amounts of land are considered estates). Mansions also exude every essence of luxury, elegance and comfort.”

Looks like that pretty much fits the bill, in our opinion.

People may be used to seeing this kind of place in Texas — especially in the Houston area (home of oil refining and other high-dollar jobs — like private investigation?), but most regular folks would consider this a top one-percenter of a home. Clearly a house of the well-heeled. That would be Tim Wilson Jr.’s house.

According to the records we’ve found, Tim Wilson Jr. has owned this house for 24 years now.

Address: 13603 KLUGE CORNER LN, CYPRESS, TX 77429-5955 (HARRIS COUNTY) (01/25/1999 to 01/10/2023):

The backyard at 13603 Kluge Corner Lane, Cypress, Texas, with pool, built-in jetted tub and outdoor fireplace. (Redfin)

For anyone who knows (or cares), that’s in the Lake Cypress Estates area of Houston, in the northwest suburbs of the city. We did a web search of the property address, and up popped an entry for it on the real estate site, Redfin. It’s estimated value on Redfin is just a little over $1 million, currently. We’re providing a link and also, through the photo above of Tim Wilson Jr.’s backyard, so you can get the full picture (26 of them, actually) of the kind of property this private investigator lives in. Business must be good — very, very good.

Not bad for a guy who’s:

  1. had a bankruptcy
  2. has had a lien and two judgments filed against him
  3. had multiple brushes with the law in the form of several alcohol-related citations, including public intoxication
  4. multiple speeding tickets … you get the idea.

A real “model” citizen, don’t you think? We will detail all of these items in future posts. But for now, we just wanted to let current and potential future clients of his know exactly who you’re dealing with.
