Textures for layers and for applying to text on layers ??

Textures for layers and for applying to text on layers so that the text is ‘overlayed’ with a texture of image….. (correct language ?)
Me and my son (13) are fair to medium skilled PS users.

We have been unable to add new textures to the above function. Whenever we save new texture files (in PSD format) to the textures folder, it never shows up in the little box of textures in the Layer/Blending/Texture element window.

How do I do this ?

If it’s "live type" you won’t be able to do this. Either rasterize the type, or better yet, apply a texture via the Layer Styles.

But when I go to the Layer/Blending/Texture element window I cannot ‘see’ any texture I add into that folder…..
How can I make it ‘see’ these textures ?
