This appeal arises pursuant to the Texas Workers’ Compensation Act, TEX. LAB. CODE ANN. § 401.001 et seq. (1989 Act). A contested case hearing (CCH) was held on May 3, 2002. The hearing officer determined that the respondent (claimant) sustained a compensable low back injury on ______________; that the appellant (carrier) is not relieved of liability because the claimant timely reported his injury to his employer; and that the claimant had disability beginning on October 31, 2000, and continuing through the date of the CCH. The carrier appeals, contending that there is insufficient evidence to support the hearing officer’s decision. There is no response from the claimant in our file.
DECISION
Affirmed.
Essentially, the carrier quarrels with the weight that the hearing officer gave to the evidence. The hearing officer is the sole judge of the relevance, materiality, weight, and credibility of the evidence presented at the hearing. Section 410.165(a). The record in this case contains conflicting evidence for the hearing officer to resolve. 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. 1986).
We affirm the hearing officer’s decision and order.
The true corporate name of the insurance carrier is LM INSURANCE CORPORATION and the name and address of its registered agent for service of process is
