I was able to get the vertex groups to mirror by selecting all vertices in Edit Mode, then click on Mesh > Snap to Symmetry.

Weight mirroring needs some specifics in order to work correctly: vertex groups have to be named with an accepted suffix, a list can be found in the Blender manual, most commons are .L .R, .l .r, .left .right, .....
Then the mesh must have a correct topology, in order to pair left and right vertices (i.e. in your model it will be impossible to mirror the ...

Maybe you should tell us what you want to do as an end result?
you can mirror a texture with the help of shading nodes like this:
so the "trick" is to just use negative scale values for a coordinate...
