Did you get your earnest money back? If so, there probably is no further recourse, as you agreed to the terms of the builders contract - which are usually subject to mandatory arbitration, not to exceed the amount of money you have into the deal. Earnest money + upgrade deposit is all you stand to gain since technically the home is not yours until you close on it.
I haved worked for homebuilders in your area for the past 7 years. I have decided to stop representing them (the seller) and start representing people like you (the buyer) as a Texas licensed real estate agent.
If you are currently represented by a real estate professional - accept this reply to your question only as food for thought. If you do not have a licensed agent representing you, and want to learn more about how to deal with home builders effectively - give me a call.
