  We present the discovery of seven new T dwarfs identified in the Two Micron
All Sky Survey. Low-resolution (R$\sim$150) 0.8--2.5 micron spectroscopy
obtained with the IRTF SpeX instrument reveal the characteristic H$_2$O and
CH$_4$ bands in the spectra of these brown dwarfs. Comparison to spectral
standards observed with the same instrument enable us to derive classifications
of T3 to T7 for the objects in this sample. Moderate-resolution (R$\sim$1200)
near-infrared spectroscopy for a subset of these discoveries reveal K I line
strengths consistent with previously observed trends with spectral type.
Follow-up imaging observations provide proper motion measurements for these
sources, ranging from $<$ 0$\farcs$1 to 1$\farcs$55 yr$^{-1}$. One object,
2MASS 0034+0523, has a spectrophotometric distance placing it within 10 pc of
the Sun. This source also exhibits a depressed K-band peak reminiscent of the
peculiar T dwarf 2MASS 0937+2931, and may be a metal-poor or old, high-mass
brown dwarf. We also present low resolution SpeX data for a set of M and L-type
dwarf, subdwarf, and giant comparison stars used to classify 59 additional
candidates identified as background stars. These are primarily M5-M8.5 dwarfs,
many exhibiting H I Paschen $\gamma$, but include three candidate ultracool M
subdwarfs and one possible early-type L subdwarf.
