Princeton/Lake Lavon is within the total eclipse path, but the center line of the path is around 25-30 miles to the southeast. That center line is roughly a path from Waxahachie to Terrell to Sulphur Springs crossing directly over Lake Tawakoni. Being the "shadow" of the total eclipse is a essentially a circle, the total eclipse near the area of the center line will last longer than the areas farther from the center line, especially as you get farther away from the center line.
Should still be a good view of the eclipse from Lake Lavon area, but (not being an eclipse expert) I would guess along the center line would be a better view of the sun's corona during the longer totality period.
