2-2-3 in Texas
Two nights with one parent, two with the other, then a three-night weekend that alternates. Over two weeks it comes out even. In Texas this is written into a Parenting Plan, where time with a child is called possession and access.

What Texas expects
Texas vocabulary is unlike any other state: parents are 'conservators' (usually Joint Managing Conservators), time is 'possession and access', and the statutory default is the Standard Possession Order — commonly 1st/3rd/5th weekends. Plans are written as the SPO, an Expanded SPO, or an agreed variation.
Governing law: Tex. Fam. Code § 153.252 (Standard Possession Order).
The honest trade-off
No long gap between seeing either parent, which is why it's the most common 50/50 schedule for little kids. The cost is exchanges — six a fortnight, roughly double most other schedules — so it only works when handoffs are calm and the drive is short.
