Why ? What are your actual constraints ?
You can call a DTS package using a stored proc if needed. Or you could use xp_cmdshell to write a file, but it is not optimal.

There are other ways too (BCP etc) , but you haven't specified what goes into the text file.

What are you requirements for this and you will get a better answer.
