More about this in Shadow Creek Ranch
A garage door remote won't close when pressing the button does nothing, or the door starts down and immediately reverses back up before it ever reaches the floor. That's a signal, sensor or logic problem, not a dead door — the opener is either not hearing the command or is refusing to finish the cycle once it does.

Why a garage door remote won't close even when the opener still hums
The remote sends a radio signal to a receiver mounted on the opener unit, and that receiver has to both catch the signal and get a clear all-clear from the safety sensors before it lets the door travel all the way down. If the remote's signal is weak, if the receiver's antenna has come loose inside the housing, or if the sensors are reporting an obstruction that isn't really there, the door either ignores the button or starts down and kicks back up partway through. Each of those is a different fix, which is why a remote that "won't close" needs to get sorted into signal, sensor or logic before anyone touches a part.
A garage door remote won't close signal issue versus a sensor issue
A signal problem usually means the door doesn't move at all when the button is pressed, while a sensor problem usually means the door starts moving and then reverses. Telling those apart from the driveway is the first step, and it changes whether a garage door remote won't close fix is inside the opener housing or down at the two small lenses near the floor.

What a garage door remote won't close call in Shadow Creek Ranch usually finds
Shadow Creek Ranch is a 3,500-acre planned community inside Pearland, and it's the largest planned community in the city — which means a lot of openers went in during the same building pushes rather than trickling in one house at a time. Home sales here started in 2001, with Perry Homes responsible for 300 of the original houses, and the median year of construction across the community is 2004, with nearly 40% of homes built between 2000 and 2009. Openers from that original run are old enough now that a weak or dying receiver board inside the housing is a common reason the remote itself stops getting through, even when the buttons on the remote still feel fine.
Harvey water and a garage door remote won't close near the creek
During Hurricane Harvey, Shadow Creek Ranch recorded 29.60 inches of rain, and nearby Clear Creek crested at 56.10 feet — about 2 feet above the top of bank and the highest level ever recorded there at that time. A garage that took on water anywhere near that peak can have corrosion working on the opener's internal wiring and receiver contacts years after the storm, and that kind of slow corrosion is a real candidate when a remote that used to work fine starts missing signals or closing inconsistently.
