Check out 'Possessive Posion' Rule.
It says:
Possessive pronoun refers back to possessive noun.
Subject and object pronouns may NOT refer back to possessive noun.
Apparently the correct sentence is:
1. Jose's room is so messy that his mother calls Jose a pig.
'his' being a possessive pronoun and 'him' being a subject pronoun. 'Jose's' is the possessive noun here.

I am not too sure how good this rule is. The suggested 'may NOT' stated in the rule is quite ambigouos.
