He debuted with Veracruz

They lost 2-1 in the first game and then lost the second by a score of 4-0. Villaseñor was heavily criticized for his horrid performance, and at one instance Omar Bravo
from Chivas was able to steal the ball away from him and assist Alberto Medina, resulting in a goal. Chivas went on to win the tournament that same season, after defeating Toluca in the final.
When Bernal recovered, Villaseñor played with second division team Coatzacoalcos
, where they made it to the quarter finals against Puebla. They tied the 1st leg 2-2 and lost the second leg 3-1, where a last minute penalty was scored.
In the 2007 Apetura season, Villaseñor played as a starting goalie versus America, one of Mexico's oldest teams of prestige, in the 12th game of the season, and was almost kicked in the face Hernan Rodrigo Lopez
lost control of the ball and tried to fake a penalty shot. He almost earned himself a yellow for arguing with the ref when he refused to reprimand Lopez. The ref decided against it but warned Villaseñor to watch his temper. He has had very few previous incidents with temper, and is known for his fair play.
After the departure of Jose de Jesus Corona
to Cruz Azul, he was brought in by Estudiantes Tecos to be the back-up to Mario Rodriguez
.
