That is when I would go either call them 1-800-224-5744 or email them at chl@txdps.state.tx.us

I'm in the same boat as you...
60 days exactly and still waiting on my fingerprints and BG check. :banghead:
This is getting very old very fast. I think I'll email them this evening. Let's just hope that it's not too much longer.
