                                    No. 14-40358

illegal reentry after deportation. She claims that the district court plainly
erred in applying the eight-level enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(C)
based on a finding that her Texas conviction of felony theft was an aggravated
felony. She contends that Texas’s theft statute encompasses conduct broader
than the generic, contemporary definition of theft because the Texas statute
includes the appropriation of property when it is with consent that has been
induced through deception or coercion. In United States v. Rodriguez-Salazar,
768 F.3d 437
, 438 (5th Cir. 2014), we rejected that theory and held that the
Texas theft statute, as set forth in Texas Penal Code § 31.03, “does not deviate
from the generic crime of theft.”
      AFFIRMED.
