No, the law says he has to have a reason:

"§ 411.207. AUTHORITY OF PEACE OFFICER TO DISARM. (a) A
peace officer who is acting in the lawful discharge of the officer's
official duties may disarm a license holder at any time the officer
reasonably believes it is necessary for the protection
of the
license holder, officer, or another individual....."


If you arent acting in a suspicious/threatening/crazy manner, he has no right to disarm you.
