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 January 7, 2002. The hearing officer resolved the disputed issue by deciding that the appellant’s (claimant) compensable injury of _____________, does not extend to and include depression and anxiety. The claimant appealed and the respondent (carrier) responded.
DECISION
The hearing officer’s decision is affirmed.
The disputed issue involved a question of fact to be decided by the hearing officer from the evidence presented. The hearing officer is the sole judge of the weight and credibility of the evidence. Section 410.165(a). As the trier of fact, the hearing officer resolves the conflicts in the evidence and determines what facts have been established. The hearing officer correctly applied the relevant law to the facts found. Section 401.011(26); Texas Employers Insurance Association v. Wilson, 522 S.W.2d 192 (Tex. 1975). We conclude that the hearing officer’s decision is supported by sufficient evidence and that it 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.
