What was found

AFTER TAKING OFF OUT OF KRQE, THA LANDING GEAR DID NOT RETRACT AFTER BRINGING THE LANDING GEAR HANDLE UP. I STILL HAD 3 GREENS. AFTER SPEAKING WITH OUR PILOT MANAGER ON CALL (PMOC) AND MAINTENANCE MANAGER ON CALL (MMOC) BY SAT PHONE I DECLARED AN EMERGENCY. PRIOR TO LANDING I BROUGHT THE GEAR HANDLE BACK TO THE DOWN POSITION AND MADE A NORMAL LANDING.
