More about this in Kingwood
A garage door remote won't close problem almost always means the remote can open the door but the close command doesn't take, or nothing happens on close at all while the wall button still works fine. That split — remote fails, wall button succeeds — points straight at the receiver, the sensors, or the remote's own signal rather than the door itself.

A garage door remote won't close but the wall button still works
That's the first thing worth checking, because it splits the problem cleanly. If the wall-mounted button closes the door every time but the remote does nothing, the opener itself is fine — the issue sits between the remote and the receiver, or in the photo-eye sensors the remote command still has to clear before the door will travel down. If the wall button also fails to close the door, the problem has moved past the remote entirely and into the opener or sensors themselves.
A garage door remote that opens but won't close is usually the sensors
Most openers built in the last few decades won't accept a close command at all — from the remote or the wall — if the safety sensors near the floor aren't lined up and seeing a clear beam between them. A remote that opens the door without issue but does nothing on close is often working exactly as designed, refusing to send a door down when it thinks something is in the way.

Why a garage door remote won't close on older Kingwood receivers
Kingwood's housing stock leans older than a lot of the region — the heaviest construction waves in the 77339 ZIP landed in the 1970s and 1980s, which means a large share of local openers and their receivers have been in service for decades. Receivers that old can lose their programmed codes, drift out of sync with a remote's rolling code, or simply wear out the internal relay that accepts a close signal, all of which show up as a remote that opens fine but won't close.
Flood exposure and a garage door remote won't close call near the San Jacinto
Harvey floodwater reached roughly 14 feet deep in at least one Kingwood home along the San Jacinto River, and openers, receivers and sensor wiring caught in water that high don't always fail right away — corrosion inside a receiver board can cause intermittent close failures that show up years after the flood itself. A remote that only fails on close, in a house near the river, is worth checking for that kind of delayed corrosion rather than assuming it's just a dead battery.
