Really? Show me any law that says you must show ID on demand.
The only thing I can come up with, and it's a streatch, is you must carry proof of a valid driver's license when driving on state owned roads and proof of a hunting license when hunting.

You're not required to show identification, but many states have laws requiring you to correctly identify yourself when requested by an LEO. Note that "lawfuly detained" is a very broad description of circumstances.
Texsas Penal Code§ 38.02.
Failure to Identify
(a) A person commits an offense if he intentionally refuses to give his name, residence address, or date of birth to a peace officer who has lawfully arrested the person and requested the information.
(b) A person commits an offense if he intentionally gives a false or fictitious name, residence address, or date of birth to a peace officer who has:
(1) lawfully arrested the person;
(2) lawfully detained the person; or
(3) requested the information from a person that the peace officer has good cause to believe is a witness to a criminal offense.
(c) Except as provided by Subsection (d), an offense under this section is a Class C misdemeanor.
(d) If it is shown on the trial of an offense under this section that the defendant was a fugitive from justice at the time of the offense, the offense is a Class B misdemeanor.
