APD 020796

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 scheduled for January 24, 2002, but was rescheduled for March 12, 2002. The appellant (carrier) contends that the hearing officer erred in her statement of the issue and that her determination that the respondent (claimant) did sustain a compensable repetitive trauma injury with a date of injury of ___________, is against the great weight and preponderance of the evidence. The claimant responds, urging affirmance.

DECISION

We reverse the decision and remand for reconstruction of the record.

Apparently, due to a technical failure, the audiotape is blank. No transcript was made of that hearing. Consequently, we have an incomplete record on appeal.

Accordingly, we remand for reconstruction of the record.

The true corporate name of the insurance carrier is AMERICAN PROTECTION INSURANCE COMPANY and the name and address of its registered agent for service of process is

CORPORATION SERVICE COMPANY
