My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: Texas
I paid a deposit to reserve a car at Autonation Gulf Freeway in Houston. We made an agreement and were told to pay a 48 hour reservation fee to hold the vehicle while getting financing approved. To hold the car, we even asked if we could pay up to $12,000 and they said it wasn't necessary. (Which we have in a text conversation as well.) We were told to produce a Loan Approval to them monday, and they sold the car to someone out from under us. We had paid consideration and had a verbal, and confirmation via text.

Extremely upset and has now cost us $1000 in rental car fees, time and other costs to find a similar vehicle. Is there anything we can do?
