Hi Richie,

The little thing being overlooked is that you need to set the
maxResolution option to "auto".

If you change your map definition to

var bounds = new OpenLayers.Bounds(-94.8, 32.3, -89.6, 36.9);
var map = new OpenLayers.Map('map', {maxExtent: bounds, maxResolution:
"auto", maxZoomLevel: 8, controls: []  });

then I think it should work.

It is also worthy of mention that the use of 'maxZoomLevel' parameter
with standard
wms layers, etc, is soon to be deprecated, in favor of the more
reasonable-sounding
'numZoomLevels'.

For a full explanation, see:
