No, that is definitely not a yaupon. It's probably a burford or something like that.

Interesting. What are you seeing? I guess Burford has a leaf tip spine but Yaupon does not?

Look up a yaupon...it's a tiny leaf sparsely populated (well maybe that's because of smallness) along a visible branch. It looks nothing like this.

Here, this is a typical branch.

Definitely a Chinese holly. Ilex cornuta ... and probably Burford like was said above.

I'm intimately familiar with Yaupons, just not familiar enough to associate that name with what I'm familiar with. But yes, the spine is the giveaway.

I believe that Chinese Holly has multiple spines on each very non-oval leaf. This has just one spine, at the leaf tip, and the leaves have an otherwise oval shape.

It's a Burfordii, probably Burfordii nana. Burford hollies are a direct mutation of Ilex cornuta, Dan. The botanical name is Ilex cornuta 'Burfordii nana'. So they are a Chinese holly, though a mutation, a cultivar.

To my eye, a Burford holly looks absolutely nothing like a yaupon, Ilex vomitoria. Leaf size, overall visual texture, stem color, nothing. You can't be all that familiar with the yaupons. (smile)
