The Supreme Court issues decisions when they are ready. They answer to no one in that respect.
The term ends the first week of October. Many decisions are issued in the last days of the term.
It's also possible that they will not publish a decision.

Reason why I asked is because somewhere in all that has been posted I thought I saw something that said a decision would be sometime in May........

I did another search. A lot of article say a decision is expected by June.
The justices go on a long summer vacation, so maybe some people expect a decision before they leave. I'm inclined to think this issue is too contentious for a decision to be made in two or three months.

Everything I have read says that they are going to issue a ruling in June before they go on recess.

I hope the ruling honors Flag Day by upholding RKBA.

I hope it's Thursday June 19th
That way many more Texans will have a reason to celebrate each year on the 19th.

10 AM Eastern time June 19th, Then Mon June 23rd, then later in the week (prob Thur) but then the session ends.
Usually opinions are released on Monday, but they have scheduled another release for Thursday.
Watch for it live

from the equivalent one for today):

Opinions are coming out now, but no Heller so far...
They're done for the day. No Heller.
