Searches for lepton-flavor-violating decays of a {tau} lepton to a lighter mass lepton and a photon have been performed with the entire data set of (963+-7)x10{sup 6} {tau} decays collected by the BABAR detector near the {Upsilon}(4S), {Upsilon}(3S) and {Upsilon}(2S) resonances. The searches yield no evidence of signals and we set upper limits on the branching fractions of B(tau{sup +}-->e{sup +}-{gamma})<3.3x10{sup -8} and B({tau}{sup +}-->{mu}{sup +}-{gamma})<4.4x10{sup -8} at 90% confidence level.
