If you pled guilty to the judge, you can appeal but there is no basis for it as long as the judge sentences you within the range of punishment that is allowed.
If you plead not guilty, you have the right to appeal. If you plead guilty and then file an application for leave to appeal, the higher court can decided to not hear your appeal. Make sure that you file your appeal within the required time.
If you are in a Justice Court, you can appeal the conviction and sentence to the District Court for a new trial, but the probationary requirements and punishment stay in place on DUI cases.
