could be convicted under Texas Health and Safety Code § 481.112(a) for 

conduct that would not qualify as a federal drug trafficking offense. See TeranSalas, 767 F.3d at 458. Oyuela-Baquedano has not demonstrated “a realistic 

probability that Texas would prosecute under an ‘administering’ theory in a 

way that does not also constitute either ‘dispensing’ or ‘distributing’ under the 

federal sentencing guidelines.” Id. at 461-62. Accordingly, the Government’s 

motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, the alternative motion for an 

extension of time to file a brief is DENIED, and the judgment of the district 

court is AFFIRMED.
