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 August 30, 2001. The hearing officer determined that the appellant (claimant) did not sustain a compensable injury on ___________; that the claimant did not have disability; and that the respondent (carrier) did not waive the right to contest the compensability of the claimed injury. The claimant has appealed these adverse determinations on sufficiency of the evidence grounds. The carrier responded, urging that the hearing officer’s determinations be affirmed.
DECISION
Affirmed.
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 and decided what facts were established. He weighed the evidence and evaluated the credibility of the claimant as a witness, and specifically found that the claimant was neither credible nor truthful in the presentation of her claim. We conclude that the hearing officer’s determinations 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 ROYAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA and the name and address of its registered agent for service of process is
CORPORATION SERVICE COMPANY
800 BRAZOS, COMMODORE 1, SUITE 750
