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 24, 2004. With respect to the issues before him, the hearing officer determined that the appellant (claimant herein) did not sustain a compensable injury; that the claimant timely reported an injury; and that the claimant did not have disability. In its appeal, the claimant asserts error in the hearing officer’s determinations concerning injury and disability. The respondent (carrier herein) replies that the hearing officer’s decision should be affirmed.
DECISION
Reversed and remanded.
Section 410.203(a)(1) requires the Appeals Panel to consider the record developed at the hearing. See Texas Workers’ Compensation Commission Appeal No. 93809, decided October 25, 1993. The hearing record is not before us and cannot be located. Accordingly, we remand this case for reconstruction of the record. See Texas Workers’ Compensation Commission Appeal No. 960968, decided July 3, 1996.
Pending resolution of the remand, a final decision has not been made in this case. However, since reversal and remand necessitate the issuance of a new decision and order by the hearing officer, a party who wishes to appeal from such new decision must file a request for review not later than 15 days after the date on which such new decision is received from the Texas Workers’ Compensation Commission’s Division of Hearings, pursuant to Section 410.202, which was amended June 17, 2001, to exclude Saturdays and Sundays and holidays listed in Section 662.003 of the Texas Government Code in the computation of the 15-day appeal and response periods. See Texas Workers’ Compensation Commission Appeal No. 92642, decided January 20, 1993.
The hearing officer’s decision states that the true corporate name of the insurance carrier is TRAVELERS INDEMNITY COMPANY and the name and address of its registered agent for service of process is
CT CORPORATION
350 NORTH ST. PAUL
