No, a conviction for that offense would prevent issuance of an appeal bond, and any sentence of 10 years or more would as well:
Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 44.04 Bond Pending Appeal
...
(b) The defendant may not be released on bail pending the appeal from any felony conviction where the punishment equals or exceeds 10 years confinement or where the defendant has been convicted of an offense listed under Section 3g(a)(1), Article 42.12, but shall immediately be placed in custody and the bail discharged.
