How to apply texture to a photo in Photoshop cs5?

I can't answer that because I'm just learning Photoshop myself, but have you searched youtube? I've found lots of helpful tutorials there.

You simply drag the texture photo over your base photo, which will create a layer. You need to have the layers palette open. You can then adjust the opacity as well as experiment with different blend modes to get the look you want. You can even use the eraser tool to remove the texture from specific areas of the photo if desired. You can use more than one layer if desired. When done, flatten the image layers into one photo.
