1Opinion of the Court
PRADO, Circuit Judge:
In this appeal, we must consider whether the knowing possession of a handgun in violation of a Texas statute prohibiting the possession of a deadly weapon in a penal institution is a crime of violence under the United States Sentencing Guidelines (“U.S.S.G.”), and whether the district court’s classification of the defendant’s pri- or convictions as crimes of violence violates the defendant’s Sixth Amendment rights under United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005). For the reasons that follow, we AFFIRM.
