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 May 6, 2002, with the record being closed on November 1, 2002. The hearing officer determined that the respondent’s (claimant) compensable injury does include and extend to the left knee; that the claimant has not reached maximum medical improvement (MMI); and that no impairment rating can be certified until the claimant reaches MMI. The appellant (carrier) appeals those determinations and the claimant responds, urging affirmance.
DECISION
Affirmed.
The hearing officer is the sole judge of the weight and credibility of the evidence. Section 410.165(a). The hearing officer reviewed the record and resolved what facts were established. We conclude that the hearing officer’s determinations have sufficient legal and factual support in 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 REDLAND INSURANCE COMPANY and the name and address of its registered agent for service of process is
CT CORPORATION SYSTEM
811 DALLAS AVENUE
HOUSTON, TEXAS 77002.
