A person may not wilfully fail or refuse to comply with a lawful order or direction of:
(1) a police officer

Don't look under the Penal code for the obeying lawful order.

It's a Statute, not a penal code.
Welcome to the forum.

This is the Transportation Code and only applies to vehicle operation and traffic offenses.
