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 July 22, 2003. The hearing officer determined that the appellant (claimant) did not sustain a compensable occupational disease injury with a date of injury of ____________, and that she did not have disability. The claimant appeals these determinations. The respondent (self-insured) urges affirmance of the hearing officer’s decision.
DECISION
Affirmed.
An occupational disease includes a repetitive trauma injury. Section 401.011(34). Whether the claimant sustained a compensable repetitive trauma injury and had disability were factual questions 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). The trier of fact may believe all, part, or none of the testimony of any witness. Aetna Insurance Co. v. English, 204 S.W.2d 850 (Tex. Civ. App.-Fort Worth 1947, no writ). The hearing officer was not persuaded by the evidence that the claimant’s work activities were sufficiently repetitive to cause an injury and, consequently, concluded that she did not sustain a compensable injury or have disability. Nothing in our review of the record indicates that the hearing officer’s decision is so against the great weight and preponderance of the evidence as to be clearly wrong and unjust. Cain v. Bain, 709 S.W.2d 175, 176 (Tex. 1986).
The hearing officer’s decision and order are affirmed.
The true corporate name of the insurance carrier is (a certified self-insured) and the name and address of its registered agent for service of process is
