As an alternative, I'd suggest watching for any bill with an interesting subject matter that is getting a hearing by any committee in either house. That means that at least one legislator is seriously interested in getting it passed. And the prime indicator of something as likely to become law is that there is at least one legislator who is seriously interested in passing it. So, in the end, don't bother reading bill introductions. Instead, read committee agendas for what is getting a hearing. (And, the way the Lege works, just because the bill ultimately stalls somewhere just means that it may reappear in an appropriation or mini-garbage bill sometime later. And that's because that one legislator knows not to give up just because of one stall.)
So, watch committee agendas and not introductions.
