\noindent
A search for the production of tau leptons in $ep$ collisions 
with the H1 detector at HERA is presented. A data sample corresponding 
to a total integrated luminosity of $471~pb^{-1}$ taken in the years 
1994-2007 is analysed,
representing the full HERA~I+II high-energy data set.
%which includes recent data collected in the period 2003-2007 (HERA-II), 
%where 182 pb$^{-1}$ of $e^+p$ data and 170 $e^-p$ data were taken.
Tau leptons are identified using an 
identification algorithm based on the search for isolated charged
tracks associated to narrow hadronic jets detected in the 
calorimeters, a typical signature of the one-prong hadronic tau decay. 
In the region where the hadronic system~($X$) has a transverse
momentum $P_T^X>25~\GeV$ one event is observed in the data where the
Standard Model (SM) expectation is  $0.99 \pm 0.13$ events.

\section{Introduction}

Events with isolated tau lepton candidates and missing transverse momentum 
are selected in $ep$~collisions in the full HERA I+II high-energy data sample 
corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $471~\mbox{pb}^{-1}$. 
This includes $287~\mbox{pb}^{-1}$ of $e^{+}p$ data and 
$184~\mbox{pb}^{-1}$ of $e^{-}p$ data.

%\cite{isolAndreev2003}

The selection, summarised in Tab.~1, is based on the one used in the 
search for events 
with tau leptons and missing transverse momentum ($P_{T}^{{\rm miss}}$) in 
HERA I data, included in the paper on tau lepton production in $ep$ collisions
\cite{tauHERA1}. 
Improvements to the tau identification algorithm,
in particular the track isolation, require the reanalysis of all data.
In the final sample, 20 events are selected where $19.5 \pm 3.2$ are expected
in the SM framework. The SM expectation is dominated by charged current events.
At $P_T^X > 25$ GeV one event, shown in~Fig.~4 (previously shown 
in~\cite{isotauDIS06}), is selected while $0.99 \pm 0.13$ are expected in the SM. 
In this region the contribution
of real $W$ production to the SM expectation, considered signal in this
analysis, is about $60\%$.
%The results in \cite{tauHERA1} and the previous preliminary update 
%\cite{isotauDIS06} are superseded by the results presented here.

This search complements the observation 
of isolated electrons and muons in events with missing transverse momentum 
in $ep$ collisions at HERA I+II \cite{isolAndreev2003,isolepDIS07}.
