Convert expression to LaTeX string

Question

How do I convert a Mathematica expression to the equivalent TeXForm string as shown when applying TeXForm?

For example: toTeXFormString[\[Alpha]] should output the string "\alpha" as a manipulable string. (It should not output TeXForm[\[Alpha]] formatted in string form, i.e. toTeXFormString[\[Alpha]]<>"bla" should append the string bla.)
