One parent has three nights and the other four, then it flips the following week. 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
Exchanges land on the same two days every week, which makes it easy to remember, and no one waits more than four nights. The trade is that which parent has the weekend flips each week, so weekend plans need a two-week memory.
