Dinero is an unincorporated community in eastern Live Oak County, Texas, United States. It lies along local roads south of Interstate 37, southeast of the city of George West, the county seat.[1] Its elevation is 112 feet (34m).[2] It once had a post office, but it was shut down in 2008 and the 78350 zip code removed.[3]
