I would think that hospitals actually owned by universities, such as MD Anderson and UTMB, are pretty clearly schools. Those two are defined as part of the UT system by the Education Code:
Sec. 65.02. ORGANIZATION. (a) The University of Texas System is composed of the following institutions and entities:

(8) The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, including:
(E) The University of Texas Hospitals at Galveston; and

(11) The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, including:
(A) The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Hospital;
The less clear area is hospitals not owned by a university but is affiliated with them. These would include Parkland, which is the county (public) hospital for Dallas County but is also a teaching facility for UT-Southwestern, and Memorial Hermann in the Texas Medical Center, which is a private hospital which is a teaching facility for UT-Houston.
