As I thought - but the next hearing isn't trial - it says "Other" - wonder what is happening with this case?

Well - it looks like his trial has come & gone...

Dallas man convicted of killing 3-year-old son in second trial

Dec. 9, 2021
A Dallas father was sentenced to life in prison after jurors in his second trial found him guilty of capital murder for killing his 3-year-old son.
[.....]
Jurors were deadlocked 11-1 in favor of convicting Brandon Edwards during his first trial in July. State District Judge Tina Clinton declared a mistrial after jurors said the one holdout refused to look at all the evidence.

Jurors in Edwards’ second trial convicted him last week. He faced an automatic life sentence because prosecutors were not seeking the death penalty.

Edwards’ lawyers filed a motion requesting a new trial. He may also appeal his conviction.


So not sure "what" the 2/15/22 hearing is about. Since this article says he was sentenced.
