APD 041988

October 4, 2004

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 July 19, 2004. The hearing officer determined that respondent (claimant herein) sustained a compensable injury on ___________. Appellant self-insured (carrier herein) appealed this determination on sufficiency grounds. Claimant responded that the hearing officer did not err in making her determinations.

DECISION

We affirm.

We have reviewed the complained-of determination and conclude that the 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.

According to information provided by carrier, the true corporate name of the insurance carrier is CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI (a self-insured governmental entity) and the name and address of its registered agent for service of process is

ARMANDO CHAPA, CITY SECRETARY

1201 LEOPARD
