If you have created an actual project, i.e. a .tmproj file, as  
opposed to dragging a folder onto TextMate, then in the project  
drawer there is a little "info" button at the bottom left, which you  
have to click. There need to be no files selected in the drawer at  
the moment. (http://macromates.com/textmate/manual/

 From section 3.4 of the LaTeX Bundle Help File:

   The environment variable TM_LATEX_ERRLVL controls the behavior of  
the HTML window in the absence of critical errors in the typesetting  
step. It has three possible values:
   2: If a document was successfully built, it will jump directly to  
the preview. This is the default.
   1: If there are any warnings, these are shown, together with a  
link to the preview.
   0: Halt on any errors or warnings, a link to the preview is only  
included if the document was built.
   If the document could not be built, then the error messages are  
always shown regardless of the value of TM_LATEX_ERRLVL.
