The flag as it appears on the website. Not quite sure
about the officiality of the presence of the white thin line
between the red and black bands. Also the flag appears to be 1:2,
but the original drawing is a waving flag.

Flag of Jáuregui Municipality of Táchira State - Attributes
and Semiology: Consists in a field with approximate ratio
1:2; this is, two squares of length divided in two equal
horizontal stripes: red (superior) and black (inferior). The red
stripe symbolizes the blood spilled by the soldiers in the fight
for the freedom whilst the black one alludes to to the mourning
and pain by the friends died in the different wars.
Historical Synthesis: Don Dionicio de Contreras and Don
Matías Márquez begin to use this Flag on year 1779, when taking
place the first freedom shout in La Grita, called "Joint
Holder’s City". This shout is defined as a social
movement with political projections and economic bases. It was
called “Joint Holder’s Revolution” because it was
done by the Common of the people. The Joint Holder Shout was a
precursory revolutionary movement previous to the independent
wars: a protest which arises in La Grita to the shout
of "Long life to the King and die to the badly
Government": phrase that later was the flashing motto of the
Joint Holder’s Revolution, fact that takes place two years
before finding echo in Socorro. For that reason it doesn’t
exist any doubt about the Venezuelan Joint Holder’s primacy.
