dc.descriptionWe present the preliminary results from the search of the non-conservation of lepton flavor number in the decay of a $τ$ to a lighter mass lepton and a pseudo-scalar meson, performed using $e^+e^- \to τ^+τ^-$ events collected at a center-of-mass energy near 10.58 GeV with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II $e^+e^-$ storage ring. No evidence of such a signal has been found in the data sample corresponding to a luminosity of 314.5 fb$^{-1}$, and we set an upper limit of $1.6\times 10^{-7}$ at 90% confidence level on the decay of $τ^- \to μ^-η$.
