Contact the Texas BON. There used to be the opportunity for remediation upon "x" number of failures---I think the number was 3--but not sure. The BON rep should be able to tell you. And, you may want to consider a review course if you have not already done so.

You should always check with the Board for the latest information. Policies can change at any time and third party info can become outdated overnight.
