Checking for a control file before processing a data file

Hi All,
I am very new to Shell scripting...
I got a requirement.
I will have few text files(data files) in a particular directory. they will be with .txt extension. With same name, but with a different extension control files also will be there. For example, Sample_20081001.txt is the data file, then Sample_20081001.ctl will be the control file.
Now if the ctl file exists, then only i have to move that particular txt file into another directory. Others i should not move. And the .txt and .ctl files will be multiple. This is my requirement.

Can anybody please give a solution?
Thank you very much.
