    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Jose Gilberto CASTILLO-PALAFOX, also known as Roberto Castillo-Palacios, also known as Jose Gilberto Castillo-Palacios, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 06-50411
    Summary Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    June 4, 2007.
    Joseph H. Gay, Jr., Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Western District of Texas, San Antonio, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    John Richard Donahue, Law Office of John Donahue, Waco, TX, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Before DAVIS, BARKSDALE, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Jose Gilberto Castillo-Palafox appeals his sentence for illegal reentry after deportation. Castillo-Palafox contends, for the first time on appeal, that the district court erred by applying a 16-level increase to his offense level, based on its finding that his 2002 state felony conviction for assault was a crime of violence under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(ii). Castillo-Palafox’s assault offense was committed under Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.01(a)(1) and (b)(2) (Vernon 2003), which does not set forth a crime of violence under § 2L1.2(b)(l)(A)(ii). See § 2L1.2, comment. (n.l(B)(iii)) (reflecting that simple assault is not an enumerated offense constituting a “crime of violence”); United States v. Villegas-Hernandez, 468 F.3d 874, 882 (5th Cir.2006)(determining that use of force is not an element of § 22.01(a)(1)), cert. denied, — U.S.—, 127 S.Ct. 1351, 167 L.Ed.2d 144 (2007). Given this prejudicial error, Castillo-Palafox’s sentence is vacated and this matter remanded for resentencing in accordance with this opinion. See Villegas-Hernandez, 468 F.3d at 885; United States v. Gracia-Cantu, 302 F.3d 308, 313 (5th Cir.2002).

SENTENCE VACATED; CASE REMANDED. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
     
      
      . The government argues that section 22.01(a)(1) had use of force as an element and is thus a crime of violence under section 2L1.2(b)(l)(A)(ii), citing United States v. Shelton, 325 F.3d 553 (5th Cir.2003). However, Shelton was decided before this Court’s en banc opinions in United States v. Vargas-Duran, 356 F.3d 598, 599-600 (5th Cir.2004)(en banc), and United States v. Calderon-Pena, 383 F.3d 254, 257 (5th Cir.2004)(en banc). As explained in Villegas-Hemandez, we clarified in those cases that an offense is a crime of violence under section 2L1.2 only if the use of force was both intentional and an element of the offense. 468 F.3d at 880-82.
