Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Fredrick Cain appeals his sentence in regard to the treatment of his conviction under Tex; Health & Safety Code § 481.112(a) as a "serious drug offense" for purposes of an enhancement under the Armed Career Criminal Act ("ACCA"). Finding his argument foreclosed by circuit precedent, we affirm.
I.
Cain pleaded guilty of possession of a firearm after a felony conviction (Count I) and possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute (Count II). The presentehce report ("PSR") identified three Texas drug convictions for possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, Tex Health & Safety Code § 481.112(a), triggering enhancements under 18 U.S.C. § 924(e)(2)(A)(ii). The district court overruled Cain's objection and sentenced him, within the enhanced range, to 192 months for Count I with a concurrent 36 months for Count II.
II.
The district court did not err in ruling that Cain's convictions were serious drug offenses. A .conviction under . Section 481.112(a) qualifies for the ACCA enhancement under § 924(e). Cain acknowledges that binding circuit precedent forecloses his position but' contends that United States v. Johnson, 135 S.Ct. 2251 (2015), and Torres v. Lynch, — U.S. —, 136 S.Ct. 1619, 194 L.Ed.2d 737 (2016),. undermine that precedent. We disagree.
Johnson addressed the residual clause under the violent-felonies portion of the ACCA, which •Wiribnsh and Vickers distinguished from the serious-drug-offense portion. Torres's discussion of how to define "described" in the Immigration and Nationality Act does not undermine Win-bush's and Vickers's discussions of the word "involving" in the ACCA. Those decisions based -the interpretation of § 924(e) on an analysis of Taylor v. United States, 495 U.S. 575, 110 S.Ct. 2143, 109 L.Ed.2d 607 (1990), and the statutory context of the ACCA.
Because no Supreme Court decisions "expressly or implicitly" overrule Win-bush or Vickers, we AFFIRM.
, The PSR listed four convictions as qualifying under the ACCA, but the government conceded at sentencing that the fourth did not support an ACCA sentence.
