The coat of arms of General Treviño was adopted in 1984, being designed by Miguel Ángel Téllez Guerra and adopted through a contest. The coat of arms has the same form as the coat of arms of the State, having a helmet at the top and a ribbon under reading 1868 GRAL. TREVIÑO 1984 (year it became a municipality and the coat of arms was adopted, respectively). At the top of the border are bees representing the inhabitants as hard-working. To the sides of the border are indigenous weapons: arrows and bows to the left; Spanish ones to the right, that is: guns, a club, and swords. At the bottom of the border is 1703 RANCHO PUNTIAGUDO 1868; the year it was founded and the foundation as a Municipality.

The inner area is divided into four sections, having an inescutcheon in the center. The upper-left section depicts a scene of the foundation of the place, with a family by water (as the Ranch of Puntiagudo). The upper-right section depicts a crowned red rampant lion, symbol of the state. The lower-left section depicts the church of San José, the Municipal Building, and the Mollejones Factory as the first industry in the town; there are two hands handshaking at the bottom for solidarity amongst its people. The lower-right section depicts a field, with a silo in the distance, and a bovine in front; these remember agriculture and cattle-raising respectively. In the inescutcheon is a depiction of Jerónimo Treviño, who the municipality is named after.
