Published on January 09, 2008

Effective Jan. 9, the repeal conforms to the Texas Court of Appeals' ruling in Mid-Century Insurance Company v. Texas Workers' Compensation Commission. This case determined the initiation of lifetime income benefits. According to the ruling, lifetime income benefits are not to be paid prior to the date an injured employee becomes entitled to benefits.

The repeal was published in the Texas Register on Jan. 4.
