If by "first appeal" you mean the appeal to the court of appeals, then after that you may seek discretionary review from the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. If that is unsuccessful, you may seek review from the United States Supreme Court. After that, you may do a writ of habeas coprus. Yes, you will need a lawyer for all of these options.
