Description

Appellant was injured on the job and submitted a claim against appellee, his employers insurance carrier, to the Texas Workers Compensation Commission ("Commission"). After the Commission granted partial relief, the Commissions Appeals Panel denied appellants request for review, holding that the Commissions decision had become final by operation of law because appellant had filed his request one day after the fifteen-day appeal deadline expired. The district court affirmed. Appellant argues that the Commissions general provisions for computing periods of time should extend the five-day deemed receipt provision and delay the start of the fifteen-day appeals period by one day. See 28 Tex. Admin. Code Â§Â§ 102.3, 102.5(d) (2005) (Tex. Workers Comp. Commn). We will reverse the decision below and remand.
