Legal Question in Traffic Law in Texas

policeman order

My son was stopped by the police, I walked to my son and the cop told me to move back to the curb. I told the cop I wanted to speak with my son and he would not allow me to do so. Is there a law that I must move when the cop tells me to move when I am doing nothing wrong.
