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 September 9, 2002. The hearing officer determined that appellant (claimant herein) did not sustain a compensable injury on ______________. Claimant appealed this determination on sufficiency grounds and also contends that the hearing officer misapplied the law. Respondent self-insured (carrier herein) responded that the Appeals Panel should affirm the hearing officer’s decision and order, but noted a clerical error in one fact finding.
DECISION
We affirm as reformed.
We have reviewed the complained-of determination and conclude that the issue involved a fact question for the hearing officer. The hearing officer reviewed the record and decided what facts were established. Our review of the record does not indicate that the hearing officer misapplied the law regarding aggravation or sole cause. We conclude that the hearing officer’s determination is supported by the record and is 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 reform Finding of Fact No. 3 to correct a clerical error and change the date therein from “May 4, 2002,” to “May 4, 2000.”
As reformed, we affirm the hearing officer’s decision and order.
According to information provided by carrier, the true corporate name of the insurance carrier is (a self-insured governmental entity) and the name and address of its registered agent for service of process is
