DIRECT ANSWER

Most do not. UT says on-campus residence halls close for winter break except San Jacinto Hall for approved break housing.

UT's current future-resident guidance says the on-campus residence halls do not remain open during winter break, with the exception of San Jacinto Hall. Once the halls close after fall, residents cannot return to their regular rooms until the residence halls reopen for spring.
