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 August 20, 2002. The hearing officer determined that the respondent (claimant) sustained a compensable injury on ____________, and that the claimant has disability from April 15, 2002, through the date of the CCH. The appellant (carrier) appeals those determinations and the claimant responds, urging affirmance. The hearing officer’s determination that the carrier did not waive the right to contest the claimed injury has not been timely appealed and is final. Section 410.169.
DECISION
Affirmed.
The hearing officer is the sole judge of the weight and credibility of the evidence. Section 410.165(a). The hearing officer reviewed the record and resolved what facts were established. We conclude that the hearing officer’s determinations are sufficiently supported by the record and are not 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).
We affirm the decision and order of the hearing officer.
The true corporate name of the insurance carrier is PETROLEUM CASUALTY COMPANY and the name and address of its registered agent for service of process is
