The LBJ/75 interchange, now called the "high five" by locals, has been under major construction for a few years. It can get bad, mostly around ruch hour, and early evenings - lane closures often start around 8 pm.
From 75, if you are heading to westbound LBJ and things are backed up at the high five, exit 75 at Coit road and take Coit to LBJ.
Coming in during those times, though, I-30 to LBJ may still be your best bet, since all the viable alternatives mean going thru downtown. Best alternate might be I-30 to I-35E to the Dallas North Tollway (75 cents) which intersects LBJ right at the Galleria.
In any case, while Dallas traffic can get bad, it's usually nothing compared to what you can get in, say, New York.
Enjoy your trip.
