Trying to Sell My Car with a Lien on it in Texas?

I'm selling my 2000 Jeep with a lien through a Credit Union in Austin. I live in Dallas. I called the Credit Union and they told me that I would just have to draw up an at home contract at home and wait for the title, sign it and give it to them. Really? Im an honest person but noone is going to do this. Is there an easier better way? Does DMV have paperwork for this? This is a local Credit Union Partner in Dallas where we can go to pay of car but thats it, they dont do paperwork or anything, so buyer would still have to wait for title to come to me. Any suggestions? The car is in great shape I owe 5000 on it, its worth about 10,000 so ill be getting money back. Anyone have any ideas how to do this where buyer feels safe? Anyone dealt with this? Please help.

1. Clear the lien, no buyer in his right mind would buy a car that has lien on it. Clear title will ensure it sells.
