Lee Buck Trevino was born in Dallas, Texas in poverty to parents of Mexican descent. His mother, Erin Holst, and grandfather, a gravedigger, raised Trevino. He never knew his father. Trevino's childhood amounted to him spending time attending school occasionally and working to help earn money for the family. At the age of five, Lee started working in the cotton fields.

Raised in a run-down shack on the outskirts of Dallas, Trevino spent his early childhood occasionally attending school and more frequently helping his family earn a meagre living growing onions and cotton in the dusty fields surrounding their home. An absent father was just one of the many hardships which Lee, his sisters, mother - a house cleaner - and grandfather - a grave digger - had to contend with.
