Los Ybanez is a city in Dawson County, Texas, United States.

[4] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.1 square miles (26 ha), all land.

The western half of Texas is generally and historically dry, though as the metro areas grew, most allow liquor in clubs, some on sale in stores.

Ybanez purchased a tract of land outside all towns from the state of Texas (which had obtained title from the federal government after World War II.)

The land had been used for soldiers' barracks during military training exercises at an adjoining glider base.

The Ybanez family also founded a local radio station, KYMI (later KJJT) as a vehicle for advertising for the liquor store business.

KYMI received money for a new transmitter and antenna in return for agreeing to change channels.
