The other points squarely at the opener. There is a wider write-up on garage door repair near First Colony that covers the other faults too.

What a hand-lift test tells you about a garage door that won't open

Garage door that refuses to open in First Colony, TX: testing the door balance

Release the door manually and lift it yourself. A door that's heavy, won't budge, or rises a foot and drops straight back has lost its spring, and the opener was never the actual problem — it simply can't lift dead weight. A door that glides up easily by hand means the fault sits entirely inside the opener.

Garage door hardware from First Colony's founding census

First Colony counted 18,327 residents across 5,976 homes by the 1990 census, a population large enough to rank 108th in the entire state before the community was even fully part of a city. Houses from that original count are now decades past their first spring and opener installation, and a garage door won't open call from one of those addresses is usually straightforward wear rather than a mystery.

Garage door installs tied to First Colony's 1997 annexation

Your garage door will not open at all in First Colony, TX: technician arriving at the home

Sugar Land's November 1997 annexation brought First Colony's last municipal utility districts into the city all at once, which means a large cluster of houses got their garage hardware installed within the same narrow window. When a door fails on one of those streets, a neighbor a few doors down is often not far behind on the same part.

Heavier garage doors in Sweetwater need heavier springs

Sweetwater, the First Colony neighborhood once profiled by the Houston Chronicle as upscale, sold a dozen $400,000-plus houses for a combined $7.1 million in a single stretch of 1991. The larger, custom doors typical of houses at that price point carry springs rated well above a standard builder door, and a won't-open call there is more often a spring simply undersized for the door than ordinary age.

Leave the opener alone once a spring or cable is suspected — repeated button presses just punish a motor that's already lost the fight.
