you would not have the *.c as targets because you would have created them with an editor (with the exception of things like lex/yacc generated files, in which case you would have entered the requisite base files for them).
If you really need something to create the *.txt files, then I suggest that you create an initialization script that touches a.txt, b.txt, etc. -- which is exactly what I did: it made the initial content of the [abcd].txt files to be "0" so that a) they existed, b) had a value with which the demonstration equivalent of myscript could work.
If your solution performs satisfactorily, then use it; if not, then you might consider the suggestion above.

I am creating a makefile and I want to do a clean section.
In the clean section I would like to check if the file exists and then delete it.

shtool-move
SHTOOL-MOVE.TMP(1) GNU Portable Shell Tool SHTOOL-MOVE.TMP(1)NAME
shtool-move - GNU shtool enhanced mv(1) replacement
SYNOPSIS
shtool move [-v|--verbose] [-t|--trace] [-e|--expand] [-p|--preserve] src-file dst-file
DESCRIPTION
This is a mv(1) style command enhanced with the ability to rename multiple files in a single operation and the ability to detect and not
touch existing equal destinations files, thus preserving timestamps.
OPTIONS
The following command line options are available.
-v, --verbose
Display some processing information.
-t, --trace
Enable the output of the essential shell commands which are executed.
-e, --expand
Expand asterisk in src to be used as ""%"n" (where n is 1,2,...) in dst-file. This is useful for renaming multiple files at once.
-p, --preserve
Detect src-file and dst-file having equal content and not touch existing destination files, thus perserving timestamps. This is useful
for applications that monitor timestamps, i.e. suppress make(1L) repeating actions for unchanged files.
EXAMPLE
# shell script
shtool move -v -e '*.txt' %1.asc
# Makefile
scanner.c: scanner.l
lex scanner.l
shtool move -t -p lex.yy.c scanner.c
HISTORY
The GNU shtool move command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 1999 for GNU shtool.
