TextMate 1.x supports only very few AppleScript commands.

Do you have to use AppleScript in order to create a new document?

Because, you can do this:
- e.g. as shell command: mate ~/Desktop/TEST.txt (this can be used  
inside of AppleScripts do shell)
[to install the mate command go to Help > Terminal Usage]
- e.g. as Web URL : txmt://open/?url=file://~/Desktop/TEST.txt

and some other ways.
