ERIC ANDELL, Justice (Assigned).

Curley Roberts (Roberts) appeals from a take-nothing judgment in his personal injury suit against Southern Pacific Transportation Company (SOPAC) under the Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA). In two issues, Roberts contends the trial court erred in entering judgment on the jury verdict for SOPAC and in denying Roberts’ motion for new trial because: (1) the evidence was inadequate to support the jury verdict for SOPAC, and (2) the trial court refused to submit a jury question on SOPAC’s agency relationship with the cab company. We affirm.
