Definition of a Texas LEO's "lawful commands"?

As a spinoff to the Keene, TX chestcam of the lady who didn't present DL/Insurance fast enough:

Somewhere along the line, I have heard lawmen use the term "lawful command".

Does Texas law define what lawful commands are?

IMHO, it would seem that asking for your DL/CHL/Insurance card would qualify, but what else can they
ask citizens to do?

If a LEO stops a pedestrian on the street, but the pedestrian walks away, this usually results in the LEO
chasing the person down. If the person has the Miranda right to remain silent, why don't they have the
right to keep walking?

Would it be a lawful command for a LEO to ask one of us to break concealment of our handguns?

TIA / SIA
