Actually, if you listen closely at the point where the officer is telling her that he will taser her, you can hear her say "I dare you".
The shove did serve to get them away from traffic.
All of that being said, the issue was escalated by the deputy who had filled out the ticket and should have handed it to her and left. I believe Onyx is correct that she was not required to sign the ticket, but I am not a lawyer and Texas law may be different (sometimes I'm not sure it's part of the US).
The woman was argumentative but was
not combative under any definition of the word I can find.
On the face of it, the officer chose to escalate.
And now for something in really bad taste:
