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 February 5, 2003. The hearing officer resolved the disputed issue by determining that the appellant’s (claimant) ____________, compensable injury does not extend to a right rotator cuff tear, a torn anterior cruciate ligament, or torn lateral or medial menisci in the right knee. The claimant appeals this determination. The respondent (carrier) urges affirmance.
DECISION
Affirmed.
The hearing officer did not err in making the complained-of determination. Conflicting evidence was presented at the hearing on the disputed issue in this case. The hearing officer is the sole judge of the weight and credibility of the evidence. Section 410.165(a). As the finder of fact, the hearing officer resolves the conflicts in the evidence and determines what facts have been established from the evidence presented. Nothing in our review of the record indicates that the hearing officer’s decision is so against the great weight and preponderance of the evidence as to be clearly wrong or manifestly unjust. Cain v. Bain, 709 S.W.2d 175, 176 (Tex. 1986).
The hearing officer’s decision and order is affirmed.
The true corporate name of the insurance carrier is CONTINENTAL CASUALTY COMPANY and the name and address of its registered agent for service of process is
CT CORPORATION SYSTEM
