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 9, 2003. The hearing officer determined that (1) the appellant (claimant) sustained a compensable injury on ______________, to the right elbow but did not sustain injuries to the right wrist or cervical spine; and (2) the claimant had disability from November 3 through November 12, 2002, but not from November 13, 2002, through April 9, 2003. The claimant appeals on sufficiency of the evidence grounds, asserting that the compensable injury includes the right wrist and that she had disability from November 13, 2002, through April 9, 2003. No response was filed. The remaining determinations were not appealed and are, therefore, final. Section 410.169.
DECISION
Affirmed.
The hearing officer did not err in reaching the complained-of determinations. The determinations involved questions of fact for the hearing officer to resolve. The hearing officer is the sole judge of the weight and credibility of the evidence (Section 410.165(a)) and, as the trier of fact, resolves the conflicts and inconsistencies in the evidence including the medical evidence (Texas Employers Insurance Association v. Campos, 666 S.W.2d 286 (Tex. App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 1984, no writ)). In view of the evidence presented, we cannot conclude that the hearing officer’s determinations are 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).
The decision and order of the hearing officer are affirmed.
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
CORPORATION SERVICE COMPANY
800 BRAZOS, SUITE 750
AUSTIN, TEXAS 78701.
