A search has been performed for the lepton-flavor-nonconserving reaction ..mu../sup -/+Ti..-->..e/sup -/+Ti using a time-projection chamber. No candidate events were observed, resulting in a limit of GAMMA(..mu../sup -/+Ti..-->..e/sup -/+Ti) / GAMMA(..mu../sup -/+Ti..-->..capture) <1.6 x 10/sup -11/ (90% C.L.) for this reaction relative to ordinary muon capture.
