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 June 9, 2003. The hearing officer determined that appellant (claimant) did not sustain a compensable injury and that he did not have disability. Claimant appealed these determinations on sufficiency grounds and also complains of the actions of his attorney. The file does not contain a response from respondent (carrier).
DECISION
We affirm.
Claimant complains of the honesty and competence of his attorney, contends he was not adequately represented, and asserts that certain evidence was not offered. We note that claimant did not raise any related error at the hearing. Such complaints may possibly be directed to other state agencies; however, we find no basis to conclude that error has been shown.
Claimant contends that his upper extremity condition is work related, that certain evidence was “doctored,” and that his employer’s witnesses lied. We have reviewed the complained-of determinations and conclude that the issues involved fact questions for the hearing officer. The hearing officer reviewed the record, judged the credibility of the evidence before her, 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.
According to information provided by carrier, the true corporate name of the insurance carrier is TEXAS MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY and the name and address of its registered agent for service of process is
