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 April 30, 2002. The hearing officer decided appellant’s (claimant) ________________, compensable injury does not extend to right carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The claimant appealed on sufficiency grounds and the respondent (carrier) responded, urging affirmance.
DECISION
Affirmed.
The hearing officer did not err in determining that the claimant’s ________________, compensable injury does not extend to right CTS. The issue of extent of injury presents a question of fact for the hearing officer to resolve. Conflicting evidence was presented at the hearing. We find the hearing officer’s decision and order to be supported by sufficient evidence and 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 ROYAL INDEMNITY COMPANY and the name and address of its registered agent for service of process is
CORPORATE SERVICES COMPANY
800 BRAZOS STREET
AUSTIN, TEXAS 78701.
