This appeal arises pursuant to the Texas Workers’ Compensation Act, TEX. LAB. CODE ANN. § 401.001 et seq. (1989 Act). A contested case hearing was held on January 15, 2002. In (docket 1), the hearing officer determined that (1) the compensable injury of ______________, extends to include an injury to the low back consisting of herniated discs at L4-5 and L5-S1; and (2) the respondent (claimant) had disability beginning April 6, 2001, and continuing through the date of the hearing. The appellant (carrier) appeals the determinations on sufficiency grounds. No response was filed by the claimant. The hearing officer’s determinations with regard to (docket 2) were not appealed by either party and are, therefore, final. Section 410.169.
DECISION
Affirmed.
The complained-of determinations involved questions of fact for the hearing officer to resolve. The hearing officer reviewed the record and decided what facts were established. We cannot conclude that the hearing officer’s determinations are so against the great weight and preponderance of the evidence as to be clearly wrong or manifestly unjust. Cain v. Bain, 709 S.W.2d 175, 176 (Tex. 1986).
The decision and order of the hearing officer are affirmed.
The true corporate name of the carrier is, a self-insured governmental entity, and the name and address of its registered agent for service of process is
