Track record
Track recordOperating scale, no investor returns
What is countable here is property, not performance: named facilities with street addresses, and a state franchise-tax record going back to 1995. There is no fund, no filing and no published return of any kind.
Start with what this firm is, because it is not the same animal as the rest of this directory. Almost every sponsor on CREsponsor is visible because it files to raise money: a Form D, a 10-K, an ADV. The Jenkins Organization has filed nothing. EDGAR full-text search returns zero results for the company and for each named affiliate. Its own site states that Ricky Jenkins is the sole owner.
That reframes the whole page. This is a 31-year-old operating business: an owner, developer and third-party manager of self-storage and RV parks, rather than a syndicator with limited partners. Its track record is therefore measurable in facilities, not in IRRs.

Facility counts enumerated from the sponsor's own published storage list on 2026-07-26; the founding date is from the Texas Comptroller's franchise-tax record. The 60-plus management figure and the acquisition and development dollars below are self-reported by the sponsor and carry no as-of date or independent corroboration. jenkinsorg.com + Texas Comptroller
The self-reported scale figures, tagged as exactly that. The homepage claims more than $250 million of assets acquired in the past 36 months and five current developments with an estimated cost in excess of $125 million. Ricky Jenkins’ biography claims he has been a principal in over $1 billion of commercial real estate transactions. None of the three is dated, none is broken down, and no filing, appraisal or trade report was located that tests any of them. For a firm with no reporting obligation that is normal; it is also the reason this page cannot corroborate a single dollar of it.
What can be verified is the affiliate structure, and it is verified by the state. The Texas Comptroller’s franchise-tax register confirms five entities at one Houston address:
The Jenkins Organization, Inc.
Texas profit corp · since 1995-04-21 · #30117775665TX Comptroller
One date needs stating twice rather than once. The site says the self-storage management division was formed in 2000; the Comptroller registers TJO 10 X 10 Management, L.P. from 1 January 2008. Those are compatible (a division can run inside a parent company for years before being placed in its own limited partnership), and the honest treatment is to give both dates with both sources rather than pick the flattering one.
Profile factor
Geographic footprint
Geographic concentrationTexas storage, national RV
Enumerated from the sponsor's own published facility lists, which give street addresses. Two businesses with two genuinely different maps, a distinction the firm's own marketing blurs.
The storage business is a Texas business, and it is bigger and less Houston-bound than it first looks. Thirty-six of the 40 named facilities sit in Texas. Greater Houston holds 17: eight in Houston proper on Cullen Boulevard, Memorial Drive, Louetta Road, North Sam Houston Parkway, Wynne Street and West 18th Street, plus Galveston, Baytown, Kemah, Spring, Tomball, Pasadena, Porter, Rosharon and Hockley. But greater Austin holds 10: six in Austin itself plus Pflugerville, Cedar Park, Bee Cave and Dripping Springs, which makes Austin a second real cluster rather than an outpost. Dallas–Fort Worth holds three (McKinney, Frisco, Southlake), and single facilities reach New Braunfels, Brenham, College Station, Horseshoe Bay, San Angelo and McAllen. Only four sit outside Texas: two in Oklahoma City, one in Lake Charles, Louisiana and one in Columbia, South Carolina.
All 40 named storage facilities, grouped by metro from the sponsor's published street addresses as of 2026-07-26; the pin counts sum to 40. The RV resorts are deliberately excluded from this map because they sit in seven other states: see below. Counts are facilities, not ownership interests: the site does not distinguish owned assets from third-party managed ones. jenkinsorg.com/storage
The RV business is national, and it runs on other people’s brands. The resorts operate as Great Escapes RV Resorts and as Jellystone Park™ franchises. The acquisitions page lists ten projects across eight states: six with live websites (Chesnut Bay in Leesburg Alabama, and Jellystone parks at Forsyth Missouri, Warrens Wisconsin, Bremen Georgia, Mount Gilead Ohio and Carsonville Michigan), plus four marked coming soon: Watts Bar Lake in Loudon Tennessee, two Austin resorts and one in San Antonio. Six states of live operations, and the pipeline is Texas.
The firm’s own two RV pages do not agree, and the difference is worth knowing before relying on either. The RV resorts page lists only five properties, each with a street address: Bremen Georgia, Loudon Tennessee, Leesburg Alabama, Forsyth Missouri and Elgin, Texas (16740 Albert Voelker Road). Elgin appears on neither the acquisitions list nor anywhere else on the site, and Loudon carries a street address here while the acquisitions page still marks it coming soon. Read together the lists are a floor, not a portfolio: somewhere between five and ten RV assets, in six to eight states, with Texas represented.
Either way the RV book is a materially different risk profile from the storage book: franchised leisure real estate dependent on discretionary travel, spread thin across markets where the firm has no local density, versus a dense Houston-and-Austin storage cluster it has operated for decades.
The honest caveat on both maps. The site lists facilities without saying which are owned and which are managed for third parties: and the firm explicitly does both, for 60-plus facilities. So the counts above measure the platform’s operating footprint, not its balance sheet.
Scored on public track record: the depth of verifiable history for each seat. The pedigree here is operating rather than financial, and it is unusually specific about which storage platforms these people came from.
Behind the 74/100: this bench is built out of self-storage operators, not dealmakers, and that is the right read on it. Two executives came from named storage platforms (one a former REIT), a third from a public multifamily REIT’s analyst desk, and the CFO seat holds a CPA. Tenures are long: the COO joined in 2003 and the operations VP in 2007. What holds the score in the mid-70s is that none of it is corroborated by a filing, because the firm makes none, so every biography here is self-reported.
The Shurgard line is the most useful credential on this page. Dwight Broering entered self-storage in 1999 at Shurgard Storage (a REIT that Public Storage acquired in 2006), which means the operations seat is held by someone trained inside institutional storage before the sector consolidated. Combined with a COO out of Private Mini Storage, the operating capability behind the 60-plus managed facilities is credible on its face. Sole-owner concentration is the counterweight: one person owns the platform and presides over four of its entities, and no filing, board or independent director sits between him and any decision.
Published contact points: the firm publishes 10600 Shadow Wood Drive, Suite 100, Houston on the state register, and lists Kyle Jenkins directly for acquisitions at (713) 907-3572 and kyle@jenkinsorg.com on its own acquisitions page.
Public-record assessment
Risk screen
Editorial score70/100
Screens run 2026-07-26 against SEC EDGAR full-text, IAPD, CourtListener federal dockets and the Texas Comptroller register, plus a county foreclosure sweep that came back clean in four jurisdictions including all 77 Oklahoma counties. Nothing adverse was found. The deductions are governance rather than events: four Reg D funds raise outside equity with no Form ADV behind them, and a sole owner sits with no board, auditor or independent director.
Behind the 66/100: nothing adverse surfaced anywhere. There is also very little that could have. A sole-owned private corporation with no securities offerings, no adviser registration and no audited public accounts generates a thin public record by design, so a clean screen here carries materially less weight than the same result on a filer, and the score says so rather than rewarding opacity.
Finding SEC filings, any CORRECTED 2026-07-27. This row previously read ZERO, which was wrong: it searched the Jenkins brand, and the firm files under Great Escapes. EDGAR carries four Reg D issuers and seven filings, with Ricky Jenkins a related person on every one. They sought $181.5M and report $13.99M sold to 67 investors. The actual finding survives the correction: no Form ADV, no fee schedule, no conflicts disclosure anywhere in the stack, and no filed offering at all against the 40-facility storage book. EDGAR, Great Escapes RV Fund III
Clear Entity standing (Texas Comptroller) The Jenkins Organization, Inc. appears on the state's active franchise-tax register as a Texas profit corporation, taxpayer 30117775665, with responsibility beginning 1995-04-21: a 31-year continuous state record. Four affiliates appear at the same Houston address with later start dates. TX Comptroller register
Clear SEC enforcement EDGAR full-text search returns zero filings of any type naming The Jenkins Organization. With no SEC registration there is no regulator with jurisdiction to have produced an action, so this is definitionally weak evidence: an absence in a registry the firm was never required to enter. Control: the same unfiltered query returns 10,000+ on a common term. EDGAR full-text search
Clear Federal civil + bankruptcy dockets No case in the CourtListener RECAP archive names The Jenkins Organization as a party. Texas state and county dockets were NOT searched this pass, and a 40-facility operator managing 60-plus sites would be expected to have routine county-court tenant matters, so treat this as a federal-only clear. CourtListener
Finding Adviser registration / Form ADV No IAPD record. Consistent with a firm that raises no pooled outside capital, but it means no fee schedule, no brochure and no conflicts disclosure exists in any regulated form. Control (2026-07-29): the same IAPD endpoint returns Cortland Investment Management (299369), so this zero is proven, not an empty index. IAPD search
Finding Published performance No IRR, equity multiple, hold period, exit list or investor reporting of any kind. The scale claims ($250M+ acquired in 36 months, $125M+ of development, $1B+ of career transactions), are self-reported, undated and uncorroborated by any source located. sponsor site
Finding Ownership concentration Ricky Jenkins is described by the firm as its sole owner and presides over four affiliated entities. No board, no independent director, no outside auditor and no filing obligation sits between the owner and any decision. Ordinary for a private operator; material for anyone contemplating passive exposure. key personnel page
Finding Sector exposure The RV-resort expansion places franchised leisure assets across AL, MO, WI, GA, OH and MI, with TN and TX in the pipeline, in markets where the firm has no other presence, versus Houston and Austin storage clusters it has run for decades. Discretionary-travel demand and thin market presence are a different risk than infill storage, and the firm's materials do not distinguish them. The firm's own two RV pages also disagree on the property list, so the count itself is uncertain. acquisitions page
Clear, partial Foreclosure (county records) Clean in every jurisdiction reached, each against a control. Swept the 78-entity Comptroller roster: Oklahoma (all 77 counties, judicial), Dallas, Tarrant, Bexar and Travis, with no Jenkins entity appearing as grantor. Coverage is roughly three-quarters of the portfolio. Not yet reached: Harris (index browses only by document number or sale date), Williamson, 13 smaller Texas counties and the six RV-resort states.

Screens as of 2026-07-26.
The point of this section, stated plainly. On a filer like Moody National an allocator can read audited accounts, a going-concern note and a regulator’s findings. On The Jenkins Organization there is a state tax registration and a website. Neither the presence nor the absence of problems can be established from outside. That is not an accusation: it is the actual epistemic position, and it is why the diligence burden here falls entirely on direct access to the company.

The one third-party affiliation found is a board seat, not an award: Ricky Jenkins is described as a board member of SBOA TI Reinsurance, a storage-industry insurance entity, which evidences standing among operators rather than recognition of investment performance. The next refresh should screen the Self Storage Association, Inside Self-Storage, the SBOA and the Houston Business Journal before this card is scored.
Unusually for this directory, a real review sweep is possible here: 40 named facilities with street addresses. That makes a token sample the wrong answer, so the lens is left open for a proper pass.
This lens is unscored because the screen was not run, not because it cannot be. That distinction matters. Elsewhere in this directory reputation is unscoreable for structural reasons: an industrial landlord has no residents, a family office has no consumers. Self-storage is different: every facility has a public Google Maps listing and a tenant review base, and the sponsor publishes all 40 addresses. A proper screen would produce a review-count-weighted average across the full portfolio, which is exactly the method used on the multifamily operators here.

Profile factor
The storage and RV platform
DifferentiatorStorage plus RV, one operator
Two asset classes new to this directory, run through five affiliated entities under one owner. The structure is confirmed by the state register; the consequence is confirmed by the 60-plus third-party management mandates.
The Jenkins Organization is the directory’s first self-storage sponsor and its first RV-resort sponsor, and it runs both through a stack of wholly owned affiliates rather than vendors: TJO 10 X 10 Management for property management, The Storage Web for website design and internet marketing, and M3 Engineering named in the founder’s own biography. All are registered to the same Houston address on the Texas franchise-tax roll.
The so-what is the third-party management book, and it is the strongest evidence on this page. Anyone can claim operating capability. Sixty-plus facilities that other owners pay TJO 10 X 10 Management to run is a market test of it: competitors and independent owners handing over their assets, repeatedly, since the division was formed. That is a harder credential than a portfolio count, because a management contract can be cancelled and a deed cannot. It also explains the captive web-marketing arm: in self-storage, occupancy is won on local search, so owning the marketing channel is an operating advantage rather than a vanity affiliate.
Why the RV pairing makes sense, and where it strains. Storage and RV parks share the economics that matter: low staffing, short-duration customers, revenue managed by dynamic pricing, and value created by filling capacity rather than signing leases. Broering’s district-management background and Sheppard’s revenue-management remit transfer directly. The strain is geography. The storage book is a dense Houston-and-Austin cluster built over three decades; the RV resorts are franchised assets across six live states where the firm has no other presence, dependent on discretionary travel and on brand licensors (Jellystone Park), that it does not control.
There is no external check anywhere in the structure. Vertical integration under a sole owner concentrates every fee inside one house with no external check, and here there is no filing, no board, no auditor and no independent director anywhere in the structure. For a company investing its owner’s capital that is nobody’s business but his. For an outside investor it is the entire question, and it cannot be resolved from public sources: which is why the honest recommendation on this sponsor is to establish first whether it accepts outside capital at all.

Platform
The Texas Comptroller records the limited partnership from 1 January 2008, with TJO 10 X 10 Storage, LLC following on 2 September 2008. The sponsor's site dates the management division itself to 2000, so the entity formalised a business that had been running inside the parent.
The Jenkins Organization, Inc. established in Houston
Founded
Texas franchise-tax responsibility begins 21 April 1995 for the Texas profit corporation, taxpayer 30117775665: a 31-year continuous state record under the same founder and sole owner.
The most important section on this page, and the shortest. No Form D, no Form ADV, no disclosed investor of any kind: for the parent or for any named affiliate.
There is no public evidence that The Jenkins Organization raises outside equity: a full-text search of SEC EDGAR returns zero filings for the company or its affiliates, and the firm’s own site names Ricky Jenkins as sole owner. Absence of a filing is not absence of capital, since the firm claims $250 million of acquisitions in 36 months, so the money is most likely private and unfiled; no institutional screen was run because a sole-owned operator with no filed offerings gives one nothing to screen.
How The Jenkins Organization compares
Moody National: the sharpest contrast in the directory, and the reason this page’s disclosure section is written the way it is. Moody is a Houston sponsor whose vehicle filed audited annual reports, so its going-concern warning, its suspended distributions and its regulator’s findings are all readable. Jenkins files nothing, so neither its strengths nor its problems can be verified. Neither position is automatically safer.
Reserve Capital Partners: the other multi-vertical sponsor here with in-house management and no Form ADV, but with four Reg D filings against Jenkins’ zero.
Partners Real Estate: a Houston operator that chose the opposite route: registering a broker-dealer and filing 23 offerings to raise outside equity.
Does The Jenkins Organization take outside investors?
Yes, on the RV side, through vehicles that carry the Great Escapes brand rather than the Jenkins name. Four Reg D funds are on EDGAR: Great Escapes Opportunity Zone Fund, LLC (first sale 2019-05-02, $8.56M sold of an $18.5M offering, 42 investors), Great Escapes Opportunity Zone Fund II, LLC (2020-12-28, $1.0M of $13M, 1 investor), Great Escapes RV Fund III, LP (2021-06-14, $4.425M of $50M, 24 investors) and Great Escapes RV Fund IV, LP (2022-02-17, $100M offering). Ricky Jenkins is a related person on all four; Fund IV was signed by Jon Nordan, the firm's CFO. That is roughly $13.99M placed with 67 investors against $181.5M sought: the funds raised a small fraction of their targets. A brand-name search misses all of it, which is why this page previously reported zero filings. Two caveats an allocator should carry: none of these vehicles has a Form ADV, fee schedule or conflicts disclosure, and the storage book (the great majority of the firm's assets) still shows no filed offering at all.
What does The Jenkins Organization own and operate?
Two things. Self-storage: 40 named facilities on its own site, of which 36 are in Texas, eight in Houston proper and six in Austin, plus Galveston, Baytown, Spring, Tomball, Pasadena, Kemah, Porter, Rosharon and Hockley around Houston; Pflugerville, Cedar Park, Bee Cave and Dripping Springs around Austin; McKinney, Frisco and Southlake in Dallas–Fort Worth; and New Braunfels, Brenham, College Station, McAllen, Horseshoe Bay and San Angelo beyond, with two in Oklahoma City, one in Lake Charles, Louisiana and one in Columbia, South Carolina. RV resorts: the acquisitions page lists ten projects in eight states under the Great Escapes RV Resorts brand and the Jellystone Park franchise, six with live sites at Leesburg Alabama, Forsyth Missouri, Warrens Wisconsin, Bremen Georgia, Mount Gilead Ohio and Carsonville Michigan, plus Loudon Tennessee, two Austin resorts and a San Antonio resort marked coming soon. Note that the firm's separate RV resorts page lists only five properties and includes one at Elgin, Texas that appears nowhere else on the site, so the two lists disagree.
Who owns and runs The Jenkins Organization?
Ricky Jenkins, who founded it and is its sole owner and President, and who also serves as President of TJO 10 X 10 Management, M3 Engineering and The Storage Web. His own biography says he has been a principal in over one billion dollars of commercial real estate transactions, he sits on the board of SBOA TI Reinsurance and he is a University of Texas graduate. The senior team is Troy Sheppard as Chief Operating Officer since 2003, Jon Nordan CPA as Chief Financial Officer since January 2019, Kyle Jenkins as Vice President of Acquisitions and Development since 2017, and Dwight Broering as Vice President of Self Storage Operations since 2007.
How old is The Jenkins Organization?
The Texas Comptroller records The Jenkins Organization, Inc. as a Texas profit corporation with franchise-tax responsibility beginning 21 April 1995, taxpayer number 30117775665, at 10600 Shadow Wood Drive, Suite 100, Houston. The affiliates were registered later: TJO 10 X 10 Management, L.P. from 1 January 2008, TJO 10 X 10 Storage, LLC from 2 September 2008 and The Storage Web, LLC from 10 April 2012.
How much has The Jenkins Organization acquired and developed?
Per its own site, more than 250 million dollars of assets acquired in the trailing 36 months, and five current developments with an estimated cost in excess of 125 million dollars. Both are self-reported with no as-of date and no independent corroboration; no filing, appraisal or trade report was located to test either figure.
How many facilities does The Jenkins Organization manage?
More than 60, per the firm's own site: third-party self-storage management conducted through its wholly owned affiliate TJO 10 X 10 Management. The site says the management division was formed in 2000; the Texas Comptroller shows the TJO 10 X 10 Management, L.P. entity registered from 1 January 2008. Those are compatible if the division operated inside the parent company before being placed in its own limited partnership, and both dates are cited here rather than reconciled.
Has The Jenkins Organization been sued or investigated?
No SEC enforcement action, no accounting release and no federal case in the CourtListener RECAP archive names The Jenkins Organization as of 2026-07-26, and the firm has no SEC registration to carry disclosures in the first place. That absence is weaker evidence than it looks: a private company with no reporting obligation generates far less public record than a registered one, so a clean screen here means less than a clean screen on a filer.
What are The Jenkins Organization's fees and returns?
Nothing is public. There is no fund, no Form ADV, no fee brochure, no published track record, no IRR and no equity multiple. Third-party management fees for the 60-plus facilities it manages are commercial terms negotiated per client. An allocator wanting any of this has to get it from the company directly.
Revision history5entries
The SEC-enforcement screen was re-run and its citation corrected. The previous screen cited an EDGAR full-text query filtered to `forms=AAER`, which cannot return a result for any term: AAER releases are SEC administrative publications, not EDGAR filings, so the filter selects a form type that does not exist. Verified by control: `the`, `fraud` and `securities` each return 0 under `forms=AAER` while the same terms unfiltered return 10,000+. EDGAR returns zero filings of any type naming The Jenkins Organization. The row now states why that is weak evidence rather than reassurance: with no SEC registration there is no regulator with jurisdiction to have produced an action, so this is an absence in a registry the firm was never required to enter.
Sources of capital condensed to a two-sentence statement with inline sources. The section had grown to 11-131 lines per page of LP cards, fund cards and audit trail; the facts that decide an allocation (who the capital comes from, and who absorbs a loss) were being carried by a slab most readers skip. Every claim and link in the short version is carried over from the long one, and the per-vehicle detail remains in git history, in the FAQ entries for minimums and fees, and in `sources[].gave:`. No score changed: the lens is value-mode and carries no weight in the hero grade.
Correction, and it overturns this page's headline claim. The profile previously reported that The Jenkins Organization has ZERO SEC filings and no outside equity on record. That was wrong, and wrong for a specific reason worth recording: the EDGAR screen searched the Jenkins brand, and the firm files under Great Escapes. Four Reg D issuers are on file (Great Escapes Opportunity Zone Fund, LLC and Fund II, LLC, and Great Escapes RV Fund III, LP and Fund IV, LP) across seven filings, with Ricky Jenkins named as a related person on all four and Fund IV signed by CFO Jon Nordan, so identity is not in doubt. Together they sought $181.5M and report $13.99M sold to 67 investors. One number is left unresolved rather than smoothed over: Fund IV's Form D reports $0 sold alongside 112 investors already invested, and no amendment corrects it. A second related person, Ian Burnstein of Farmington Hills, Michigan, appears on both Opportunity Zone funds and nowhere on the sponsor's own site. The entity roster was also rebuilt from the registered suite rather than the brand, taking it from 5 entities to 78, of which 45 carry no brand token, and it shows a live reorganisation into Clark Jenkins vehicles, including a Travis County deed dated 2026-07-02 to an entity not yet on the state register. On the strength of that roster the foreclosure screen ran for the first time: clean in Oklahoma (all 77 counties), Dallas, Tarrant and Bexar, each against a control proving the index was live, and clean on the Travis instruments for Bergstrom Storage. Harris County (about a quarter of the portfolio) remains unscreenable without a paid aggregator, and Williamson County's public portal turns out to carry only Commissioners Court minutes, so the row stays queued rather than clear. Risk 66 to 70: a screen that had never run now returns clean, offset by the discovery that outside capital is being raised with no Form ADV or fee disclosure behind it.
Same-day correction from a second independent recount of the sponsor's storage list. The facility count was first published as 29 facilities with 25 in Texas; the correct figures are 40 facilities with 36 in Texas. The original extraction rejected any facility whose name contains an en-dash (the AAA Self Storage, My Attic and Best Storage sub-branded sites), and so under-counted by eleven. The correction materially changes the geography rather than just the total: greater Austin holds 10 facilities, not 3, making it a second real cluster, and a Dallas–Fort Worth presence of three (McKinney, Frisco, Southlake) had been missed entirely. Map pins, metro roll-ups and market tags were rebuilt from a name-to-address pairing that now sums to 40.
Initial publish, and the finding is a negative one that matters more than any figure on the page: The Jenkins Organization has ZERO SEC filings. No Form D, no Form ADV, no registration for the parent or for any named affiliate, confirmed by EDGAR full-text search and by targeted searches on the affiliate names. Ricky Jenkins is described on the firm's own site as founder and sole owner. So unlike every other sponsor in this directory, this firm is documented as an owner-operator and third-party manager rather than a visible capital-raiser, and an allocator's first question should be whether it accepts outside equity at all. The government spine is therefore the Texas Comptroller rather than the SEC: The Jenkins Organization, Inc. is a Texas profit corporation, taxpayer 30117775665, with franchise-tax responsibility running from 1995-04-21, and the affiliate stack: TJO 10 X 10 Management LP (2008), TJO 10 X 10 Storage LLC (2008), The Storage Web LLC (2012), is registered at the same Houston address. Operating substance is real and enumerable: 40 named self-storage facilities with street addresses, 36 of them Texas, plus an RV-resort platform under the Great Escapes and Jellystone Park brands (ten projects in eight states per the acquisitions page, six of them live), and 60-plus facilities under third-party management. Team scored 74/100 on sector-operating pedigree (Shurgard, Private Mini Storage, Monogram Residential Trust), rather than finance pedigree. Risk 66/100: nothing adverse surfaced, but with no filings and no audited accounts there is very little to screen, and the score reflects that unverifiability rather than any finding. Awards and online reputation left unscored because those screens were not run; the storage list makes a genuine 40-property review sweep possible next pass.
