Interesting. It doesn't come much blacker than the montmorillonite clay of N. Texas. I till in a lot of compost to make it fertile. Next year, I'll try a pot of sandy soil. Might work.
If sandy soil works I should be able to grow hot ones where I live , Sand Mountain known for it's sandy loam soil . According to this article hot 🥵 weather is what you need , does it get hot in Texas 😁 ? https://balconygardenweb.com/how-to-make-pepper-plants-hotter-steps-to-spicy-chillies/

A friend of mine from another state was down visiting for the 4th of July weekend. We were outside and walked by my garden where I had various peppers growing. I pointed out the different peppers.

He too is a country raised man with farm life background. He told me that because I had bell peppers growing near the jalapeno peppers, that it would affect both. The jalapenos would not be as hot, and have a sweet taste. And the bells would have a certain spicy flavor.

It will be interesting to see if that is so. And if it is, it will be somewhat disappointing, as I do like a certain amount of heat in the jalapeno pepper.

For a bit of extra heat, I prefer serranos. I think my favorite chilies are poblanos. Have you tried slicing them, grilling them, and adding them to a bacon cheeseburger? It's my favorite burger now.

I have raised red bells next to various hot peppers, and I haven't noticed that. Since they are varieties of one species, and since they at least in theory could be cross-pollinated, it makes sense. I think I'll try that next year with a small brush and see what happens.
