The routing is basically the same as above, The only difference is that you're coming into TX on I-20 rather than I-30.
From Shreveport, you can get on US79 at Waskom TX, which is some four to six miles west of Shreveport. From there, everything else is as previously mentioned.
Or - you can continue west on I-20 to US259 just west of Longview,then turn south down to Henderson, then get on US79 at that point. This will keep you clear of Tyler.
As far as getting on TX 34 at Terrell is concerned, I'm not too sure about the construction that was or is going on south of Kaufman. They were widening a few miles of narrow roads through the Trinity River bottom and not sure if it's complete.
A good rule of thumb is avoid the DFW area by at least a 75 mile radius in any direction. This keeps you clear of any residual back ups or blocked interstates due to some overturned 18-wheeler which is common place these days.
