It appears Huehuetlán does not use a municipal flag.

image from the Municipal Council
The council informed me they could not find information on the history of their municipal coat of arms; the municipal chronicler could not find anything either, even after asking the General Archive of the State. The depiction the Archive has is different from the one commonly found online. In Article 22 of the Municipal Regulation on Police and Government, approving its use:
It is a design inspired in the pictographic representation of the values of the Náhuatl and Tének peoples that integrate the municipality. Divided into four sections, in the upper part to the left it has the image of the god Huehuetl, "Old God"; in the upper-right part an indigenous women is observed with her traditional dress, the petob [hat] and the quezquémetl [traditionally woven dress], and one of the religious-artistic traditions most representative of the town of Huehuetlán, the Dance of the Wands, in the lower-left part of the shield the Catholic temple is represented [San Diego de Alcalá] and Friar Andrés de Olmos, in his evangelizing mission and in the lower-right section the figure of one of the doves that abound in the region of the municipality. [The official version also has the border of the shield and ribbon found under the shield in the National Colors. The border in this version also reads "TENEK ETNIAS NAHUATL".]
