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 26, 2003. On the sole issue, the hearing officer determined that the appellant (claimant) had disability from May 20, 1999, through May 23, 1999, and from July 5, 1999, through July 12, 1999, but not from July 30, 1999, through March 26, 2003. The claimant appeals the disability determination for the period of July 30, 1999, through March 26, 2003, on sufficiency of the evidence grounds. The respondent (carrier) urges affirmance. The remaining disability determinations were not appealed and are, therefore, final. Section 410.169.
DECISION
Affirmed.
The hearing officer did not err in determining that the claimant did not have disability from July 30, 1999, through March 26, 2003. This determination involved a question of fact for the hearing officer to resolve. The hearing officer is the sole judge of the weight and credibility of the evidence (Section 410.165(a)) and, as the trier of fact, resolves the conflicts and inconsistencies in the evidence including the medical evidence (Texas Employers Insurance Association v. Campos, 666 S.W.2d 286 (Tex. App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 1984, no writ)). In view of the evidence presented, we cannot conclude that the hearing officer’s determination 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).
