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 April 2, 2002. The hearing officer decided that the respondent’s (claimant) ______________, compensable injury extends to include a lumbar herniated disc. The appellant (carrier) appealed, and the claimant responded urging affirmance.
DECISION
Affirmed.
The hearing officer did not err in determining that the claimant’s ______________, compensable injury extends to include a lumbar herniated disc. We find this determination to be supported by sufficient evidence and 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, 176 (Tex. 1986); Pool v. Ford Motor Company, 715 S.W.2d 629, 635 (Tex. 1986).
The hearing officer’s decision and order are affirmed.
The true corporate name of the insurance carrier is CENTRE INSURANCE COMPANY and the name and address of its registered agent for service of process is
CORPORATION SERVICE COMPANY
800 BRAZOS, SUITE 750, COMMODORE 1
