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 June 16, 2004. The hearing officer determined that the _____________, injury of appellant (claimant) does not extend to and include the left shoulder. Claimant appeals the determination on evidentiary sufficiency grounds. Respondent (carrier) urges that the Appeals Panel affirm the hearing officer’s decision and order.

DECISION

We affirm.

We have reviewed the complained-of determination and conclude that the extent-of-injury issue involved a fact question for the hearing officer. The hearing officer reviewed the record and decided what facts were established. We conclude that the hearing officer’s determination is supported by the record and is 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).

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
