I am adding text to my document with the following parameters setup...
var attachmentTextFrame = doc.textFrames.add();
// Fill color
attachmentTextFrame.textRange.characterAttributes.fillColor = newRGBColor;
// Font size
attachmentTextFrame.textRange.characterAttributes.size = 14;
// Font
attachmentTextFrame.textRange.characterAttributes.textFont = app.textFonts.getByName("Arial-BoldMT");
// Make all text uppercase
attachmentTextFrame.contents = attachmentDescription.text.toUpperCase();
// Placement of the textFrame
attachmentTextFrame.position = new Point(useThisX, useThisY);
Is there a way to make this textFrame be created on a layer called "Single Line"?
attachmentTextFrame.moveToBeginning(app.activeDocument.layers["Single Line"]);

Only one question: why moving after creation instead of creating directly at destination layer?
var attachmentTextFrame = doc.layers["Single Line"].textFrames.add();

Good point. I will update the script to do that. Much appreciated! I learn so much from everyone on this forum!
