Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

My spouse and I were married in Houston with a Texas marriage license. We were married a short time later in Nevada with a Nevada marriage license. There was no divorce after the first marriage. We filed for a divorce and it was granted in Texas using the second marriage date on the petition.My concern is that the second marriage was not legal because we were already married and and we should

have named the first marriage in the petition. Do we need to file for another divorce using the first marriage in the petition?

No. It doesn't make any difference (unless you acquired a large amount of community property between wedding #1 and wedding #2).
