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 September 27, 2001. The hearing officer resolved the disputed issues by deciding that the respondent’s (claimant) compensable injury of __________, extends to and includes the left knee strain and the low back after September 15, 2000, and that the claimant had disability from May 4, 2000, through September 14, 2000. The appellant (carrier) appealed the hearing officer’s determination that the compensable injury of __________, extends to and includes the left knee strain and low back after September 15, 2000.

DECISION
The hearing officer’s decision is affirmed.
The hearing officer did not err in determining that the claimant’s compensable injury extends to and includes the left knee strain and the low back after September 15, 2000. Conflicting evidence was presented on the disputed issue. The hearing officer is the sole judge of the weight and credibility of the evidence. Section 410.165(a). As the finder of fact, the hearing officer resolves the conflicts in the evidence and determines what facts have been established. The hearing officer’s decision is supported by sufficient evidence and is not 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 (Tex. 1986).
The hearing officer’s decision and order 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
