APD 021156

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 18, 2002. The appellant (claimant) appeals the hearing officer’s determinations that the claimant did not sustain a compensable injury on ______________; that because the claimant did not sustain a compensable injury he did not have disability; and that the respondent (carrier) is relieved of liability because the claimant failed to timely notify his employer of an alleged injury. The carrier responds, urging affirmance.

DECISION

Affirmed.

After review of the record and the complained-of determinations, we have concluded that there is sufficient legal and factual support for the hearing officer’s decision. Cain v. Bain, 709 S.W.2d 175, 176 (Tex. 1976).

We affirm the hearing officer’s decision and order.

The true corporate name of the insurance carrier is AMERICAN INTERSTATE INSURANCE COMPANY and the name and address of its registered agent for service of process is
