If you can keep up with cars you pretty much have the same rights they do last I heard. Left turn lanes are available to you also, but you need to stay up with traffic, or it's just dangerous. I would think if you impede, slow down traffic, you could be cited or warned. Cars that go too slow can receive a ticket for impeding traffic also.
Some states have designated bicycle paths on and off the road. Some states say that if you ride a bicycle in the road, you must abide by all road rules as if you were driving a car.

They have the same responsibilities or "rights" as all other traffic.

Can a police officer in the state of Texas has the authority to ticket a person in a bicycle?

If the rider of the bicycle is not following the rules of the road, yes, a police officer can issue a warning or ticket to the person. For example, bicycles aren't allowed on major highways--ticket. Many places now forbid riding a bike on sidewalks. Or, if you are on a street but ignoring traffic signs or signals, a bicyclist can cause accidents so yes, the biker can get a ticket.
