OPINION
RICHARD H. EDELMAN, Justice.
In this personal injury action, Bernard and Mary Arocha (the “Arochas”) appeal a take-nothing judgment entered in favor of their uninsured/underinsured automobile liability insurers, State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company and Chubb Lloyd’s Insurance Company of Texas (collectively, the “insurers”), on the grounds that the trial court erred by: (1) denying their requested jury instruction; and (2) overruling their objection to closing argument in which the insurers’ trial counsel violated the “golden rule.” We affirm.
