If your Styles palette isn't
open then choose Windows>Show Styles from the menu
bar |

Be sure your text layer is
selected (click on the text layer in the Layer Palette)
Click on the style you'd like to apply. I choose
the purple one in the bottom row of the image below.

Let's make a few alterations
so we can make a new layer style. I unchecked the
Gradient Overlay and checked the Color Overlay |

Then I clicked on Texture,
then I double clicked on it to bring up this dialog.
You can choose one that's here or click the arrow
and load more. |

Once you get the style the
way you like, then click the New Style button. |

Name it and click OK. You
can see below the result of the new style. Also notice
at the bottom of the Styles Palette, our new style has
been added. |
