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 March 11, 2002. The appellant (carrier) appeals the hearing officer’s determinations that the respondent (claimant) sustained a compensable injury on _____________; that the claimant reported the injury in a timely manner and the carrier is not relieved of liability; that the claimant established good cause for failing to file the claim within one year; and that the claimant had disability from August 29, 2001, through March 11, 2002. There is no response from the claimant contained in our file.

DECISION

After review of the record before us and the complained-of determinations, we have concluded that there is sufficient support for the hearing officer’s decision. Cain v. Bain, 709 S.W.2d 175, 176 (Tex. 1986).

We affirm the decision and order of the hearing officer.
