There are a few reasons why the viburnum may not be blooming. One, the plant may not be mature yet. Two, the plant may be over-fertilized (excess nitrogen inhibits blooms). Three, the plants position may not receive enough sun and should get 6-8 hours of direct sunlight a day (doubt that though since it's in Texas). Fourth, pruning last winter may have inhibited this years growth. If this does not make sense to you its because I'm not firmilier with Texas' climate/seasons changes.
