APD 041211

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 29, 2004. The hearing officer determined that the respondent/cross-appellant (claimant) sustained a compensable injury on ______________, and that she did not have resulting disability. The appellant/cross-respondent (carrier) appealed the injury determination on sufficiency of the evidence grounds and the appeal file does not contain a response from the claimant. The claimant appealed the disability determination on sufficiency of the evidence grounds and the carrier responded, urging affirmance of that determination.

DECISION

Affirmed.

We have reviewed the complained-of determinations and conclude that the disputed issues involved fact questions for the hearing officer. The hearing officer reviewed the record and decided what facts were established. We conclude that the hearing officer’s determinations are 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 hearing officer’s decision and order.

The true corporate name of the insurance carrier is AMERICAN HOME ASSURANCE COMPANY and the name and address of its registered agent for service of process is
