No. In Western countries you can only be married to one person at a time.
In the United States, a man marrying two different women at the same time is a crime called "bigamy". The second marriage is legally void, but the attempt itself is criminal.
"Polygamy" is the generic word for a situation when one man is married to more than one woman. The word for one woman marrying more than one man at once is "polyandry".

Texas has "informal marriage" which doesn't really require any specific time period; the couple simply file a court form stating that they agreed to be married on or about a certain date, that neither of them has since married any other person, and that they have represented themselves to other people and acted as if they were married.
