Welcome aboard RCartledge!

The image that you have posted, as an example, is quite small... but my first thoughts are:

1. Add noise
2. Bevel and Emboss

Give it a 'play' and enjoy your time here!

Id do exactly what wbiss said, except i'd just do add noise, then blur very slightly, then select a square of it as a pattern(edit-->define pattern)(there are probably inbuilt texture patterns that are good to use in ps). then use the texture option under bevel in the blending options(right click layer in pallette and chose 'blending options', and use that pattern for the texture. Since the letters are already beveled then this wont be very harmful to the image, as it is just a blending layer...
