Manuel Gonzalez appeals his conviction and sentence following his guilty plea to illegal reentry into the United States following deportation. He argues for the first time on appeal that the district court erred in enhancing his sentence under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(l)(A)(ii) based on his prior robbery conviction under Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 29.02(a)(1) (Vernon 1994).

Robbery is expressly listed as a crime of violence in the commentary to § 2L1.2. See § 2L1.2, commentjn. l(b)(iii)). We re *252 cently held in United States v. Santiesteban-Hernandez, 469 F.3d 376, 378-82 (5th Cir. 2006), that the Texas offense of robbery under § 29.02 qualifies as the enumerated offense of robbery for purposes of § 2L1.2. Gonzalez’s arguments are almost identical to the arguments made in Santiesteban-Hemandez and therefore provide no basis for relief.

Gonzalez also argues in light of Appren-di v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), that the 96-month term of imprisonment imposed in his case exceeds the statutory maximum sentence allowed for the 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a) offense charged in his indictment. He challenges the constitutionality of § 1326(b)’s treatment of prior felony and aggravated felony convictions as sentencing factors rather than elements of the offense that must be found by a jury.

Gonzalez’s constitutional challenge is foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224, 235, 118 S.Ct. 1219, 140 L.Ed.2d 350 (1998). Although he contends that a majority of the Supreme Court would overrule AlmendarezTorres in light of Apprendi we have repeatedly rejected such arguments on the basis that Almendarez-Torres remains binding. See United States v. Garza-Lopez, 410 F.3d 268, 276 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, — U.S.—, 126 S.Ct. 298, 163 L.Ed.2d 260 (2005). Gonzalez properly concedes that his argument is foreclosed in light of Almendarez-Torres and circuit precedent, but he raises it here to preserve it for further review.

AFFIRMED.
