  We present the discovery of 11 new T dwarfs, found during the course of a
photometric survey for mid-to-late T dwarfs in the 2MASS Point Source Catalog
and from a proper motion selected sample of ultracool dwarfs in the 2MASS
Working Database. Using the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility SpeX spectrograph,
we obtained low-resolution (R~150) spectroscopy, allowing us to derive
near-infrared spectral types of T2-T8. One of these new T dwarfs, 2MASS
J13243559+6358284, was also discovered independently by Metchev et al., in
prep. This object is spectroscopically peculiar and possibly a binary and/or
very young (<300 Myr). We specifically attempted to model the spectrum of this
source as a composite binary to reproduce its peculiar spectral
characteristics. The latest-type object in our sample is a T8 dwarf, 2MASS
J07290002-3954043, now one of the four latest-type T dwarfs known. All 11 T
dwarfs are nearby given their spectrophotometric distance estimates, with 1 T
dwarf within 10 pc and 8 additional T dwarfs within 25 pc, if single. These new
additions increase the 25 pc census of T dwarfs by ~14%. Their proximity offers
an excellent opportunity to probe for companions at closer separations than are
possible for more distant T dwarfs.
