I lived there about 40 years and I never heard of that.

That may be impeding traffic, and I'd even seen statutes elsewhere in TX that said you can't stand in the middle of the street blocking traffic! But what it's obviously not is "impersonating an officer."
These are measures designed to be nuisances, not to enforce the law. Because these two
aren't laws, and the others aren't especially reasonable even if they are legal.
