I saw it on the calendar before midnight, so it MIGHT be heard tomorrow. We shall see. I've also seen that Senator Nichols (who was one of the few who had not expressed a public opinion), has come out in support of HB 1927.

Senators who have not yet publicized their opinion are feeling pressure. I encourage everyone who resides in the districts of the undecided, call them and POLITELY let your senator know how you (as their constituent) would like them to vote.
I noticed the official "on the intent calendar" date on the Legislature website was 5/4.

I did find this fairly informative article about the Intent Calendar:

Re: TX: Lt Gov Patrick says not enough Senate votes to pass Con Carry

Well it was on the Intent Calendar for today but it looks like they adjourned for the day before getting to it. Hopefully it's still on the Intent Calendar tomorrow. I don't know if it's a common thing to put a bill on the intent calendar and then never get to it.

There were plenty of other bills they didn't get to yet so it wasn't just that one left.

Live feed starting shortly. Not sure how deep into the day before HB1927 comes up. I don't think they necessarily go in order but on the intent calendar it's the last item on a 5 page list.

Live stream of senate hearing
Just to add to this, it's a Senate committee hearing and not yet the full senate.
