You'll want [text12] with escaped quotation, similar to how you're doing the title. Also, what is the function of User=usr in CustomAlert() arguments if you're just going to use the src anyways? Remove it or pass the argument along.
Also make sure CustomAlert.text1 exists and is visible.

mob/proc/CustomAlert(text12="Sample text")
    winset(src,"CustomAlert.text1","text=\"[text12]\"")
    winset(src,"CustomAlert","title=\"[title]\"")
    winset(src,"CustomAlert","is-visible=true")

mob/verb/TestAlert()
    CustomAlert("SAMPLE TEXT")

You did the right thing asking here. If you want to learn more about custom 8nterface pop ups feel free to try my library which also allows fading and more customisation!
