It probably wasn't the District Attorney. It was probably the Attorney General that you dealt with.
You can file an appeal. You have seven days.
There's a form for it here:

Hire a private attorney immediately!
You need someone to speak for you.
I recommend that people never go to the TX A G office without legal representation for this very reason!
Mark's advice is right on!
