You will of course have to draw the footprint

TI publishes padstack data in PADS, BoardStation and DXF format for
quite a few parts.

I don't think I've ever done a PCB without having to create at least
one decal. I think on my last board the only pre-made footprint I was
able to use was the 0805 decal.
