If a party loses at the trial court how many appeals does the party get as a matter of right?

If a party loses at the trial court, they typically have the right to one appeal to an intermediate appellate court. This appeal is a matter of right, meaning they do not need special permission to file it. However, further appeals to higher courts, such as a state supreme court or the U.S. Supreme Court, usually require a petition for discretionary review, which may or may not be granted.
