Please note the statute uses the language "demand identification". Note that an LEO can carry on any conversation or ask any questions they want when the other party is voluntarily consenting to the interaction. But the word "demand" makes clear that we are not talking about a consensual interaction.

There are clear limits, both Texas statute, as well as case law (Texas and Federal) on when an officer can demand identification. One obvious example is being stopped for a traffic infraction. Walking down the street without any cause for reasonable suspicion does not qualify for demanding ID.
