APD 021083

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 March 26, 2002, and April 4, 2002. The hearing officer decided that the appellant (claimant) did not sustain a compensable injury on ______________, or on any other relevant date and that she did not have disability. The claimant appealed and there is no response from the respondent (carrier) in the file.

DECISION

Affirmed.

The hearing officer did not err in determining that the claimant did not sustain a compensable injury and that she did not have disability. The disputed issues presented questions of fact for the hearing officer to resolve. Conflicting evidence was presented on the disputed issues. We conclude that the hearing officer’s determinations are supported by sufficient evidence and are not so against the great weight and preponderance of the evidence as to be clearly wrong and unjust. Cain v. Bain, 709 S.W.2d 175, 176 (Tex. 1986); Pool v. Ford Motor Company, 715 S.W.2d 629, 635 (Tex. 1986).

The hearing officer’s decision and order are affirmed.

The true corporate name of the insurance carrier is ARGONAUT-SOUTHWEST INSURANCE COMPANY and the name and address of its registered agent for service of process is
