A search for the lepton-flavor-violating decay of the
tau into one charged lepton and two charged hadrons
has been performed using $221.4 \mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of data
collected at an $e^+e^-$ center-of-mass energy around
10.58 GeV with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage ring.
In all 14 decay modes considered, the numbers of events found
in data are compatible with the background expectations.
Upper limits on the branching fractions are set in the range
$(0.7-4.8)\times 10^{-7}$ at 90\% confidence level.
All results are preliminary.
