[TX] Airlines issued printed ticket that was invalid, proceeded to threaten me

Yes, but according to the US DOT, I am eligible for damages: https://www.transportation.gov/airconsumer/fly-rights

If the substitute transportation is scheduled to get you to your destination more than two hours later (four hours internationally), or if the airline does not make any substitute travel arrangements for you, the compensation doubles (400% of your one-way fare, $1350 maximum).

To be eligible for compensation, you must have a confirmed reservation. A written confirmation issued by the airline or an authorized agent or reservation service qualifies you in this regard even if the airline can't find your reservation in the computer, as long as you didn't cancel your reservation or miss a reconfirmation deadline.

Could conditions of carriage override that?
