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 August 1, 2003. The hearing officer determined that appellant (claimant) did not sustain a compensable occupational disease injury on ________________, and that she did not have disability. Claimant appealed the determinations regarding compensability and disability on sufficiency grounds and asserts that the hearing officer was biased against her because of her criminal record. The respondent (carrier) urges affirmance.
DECISION
We affirm.
We have reviewed the complained-of determinations and conclude that the issues involved fact questions for the hearing officer. The hearing officer reviewed the record and decided what facts were established. We conclude that the hearing officer’s determinations are supported by the record and are not 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). Regarding claimant’s assertion of hearing officer bias, we find no evidence to substantiate this assertion.
We affirm the hearing officer’s decision and order.
The true corporate name of the insurance carrier is INSURANCE COMPANY OF THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA and the name and address of its registered agent for service of process is
