The coat of arms of Hualahuises was adopted on 18 June 1984, being designed by Miguel Rodríguez, dentist during that time, and adopted through a call for submissions throughout the state. Serving as the frame is the portico of the Nuestra Señora de los Dolores church (historically the San Cristóbal de los Gualagüises church; depicting columns to the sides, design at the top). In its doorway, an image is divided into four sections. The upper-left section depicts the same church. The upper-right section depicts a crowned red rampant lion, symbol of the state. The lower-left section depicts the hand of Martín de Zavala, founder of the mission here, giving his sword to another hand representing an Indian of the Gualagüises tribe as a symbol of friendship. The lower-right section depicts the Sierra Madre Oriental in the background and the Hualahuises River in front. Under the doorway is a ribbon in the National Colors reading SAN XPÓBAL D LOS GUALAGÜISES; the original name and mission (San Cristóbal de los Gualagüises); some versions carry the years 1646 (its foundation) and 1984 (creation of the coat of arms) on the ribbon. Under this is a yellow item as ornamentation.
