if you are using photoshop cs or higher, the easiest way would be to create a new layer with the texture above the layer you want to apply the texture to. fill the layer with your texture. use the alt key and click the mouse in between the 2 layers to link them together. this will make the texture layer only visible where the layer underneath is visible.
the next step is to go into the liquify filter and use this tool to create a distortion to the texture so it properly wraps itself around the layer below creating the correct displacement, this will take practice and work but is worth the effort.
then once you have created the correct displacement on the texture layer set it to either multiply or overlay.
then play with the original layers brightness and and contrast to make it look right.
if done correctly this should create a very realistic texture look in about 15 min.
