If it is opening in a new window, the SR will start reading the DOM from top to bottom. Why do you need to set the focus on the text?

My concern is that you might run into issues with JAWS, as it would want to read the DOM from the top as soon as it loads in the browser. Are you testing with multiple screen readers? If not, you should because what might work for NVDA might not work for JAWS and VoiceOver.
