The :parents should be (list text-mode-abbrev-table) (other you have
a list containing the symbol `text-mode-abbrev-table' rather than a list
containing an abbrev-table).

You may also want to use

  (abbrev-table-put foo-abbrev-table :parents (list text-mode-abbrev-table))

if foo-abbrev-table already exists (calling `define-abbrev-table' on
a table that already exists is not a good idea).
