This appeal arises pursuant to the Texas Workers’ Compensation Act, TEX. LAB. CODE ANN. § 401.001 et seq. (1989 Act). A contested case hearing (CCH) was held on June 27, 2002. The hearing officer resolved the disputed issues by deciding that the respondent (claimant) sustained a compensable injury on ___________; that the claimant has had disability from March 1, 2002, through the date of the CCH; and that the claimant was not engaged in a voluntary off-duty recreational activity when she was injured on ___________. The appellant (carrier) appealed and the claimant responded.
DECISION
The hearing officer’s decision is affirmed.
The hearing officer did not err in determining that the claimant sustained a compensable injury; that she has had disability from March 1, 2002, through the date of the CCH; and that the carrier is not relieved of liability under Section 406.032(1)(D). The hearing officer is the sole judge of the weight and credibility of the evidence. Section 410.165(a). We conclude that the hearing officer’s decision is supported by sufficient evidence and that it is 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 (Tex. 1986).
The hearing officer’s decision and order are affirmed.
The true corporate name of the insurance carrier is ST. PAUL FIRE & MARINE INSURANCE COMPANY and the name and address of its registered agent for service of process is
