You cannot change lanes away from a stopped police car because traffic beside you is too close. Under Move Over law you should:

• A.Pass at the posted limit
• B.Squeeze between the police car and traffic
• C.Honk so the officer knows you are passing
• D.Slow to 20 mph below the posted limit as you pass

Why

When a lane change is not safely possible, Texas Move Over law requires slowing to 20 mph below the posted limit. That gives responders working at the roadside a safer margin.
