Abstract: A conjecture of Khang Tran [6] claims that for an arbitrary pair of polynomials $A(z)$ and $B(z)$, every zero of every polynomial in the sequence ${P_n(z)}_{n=1}^{i}nfty$ satisfying the three-term recurrence relation of length $k$ ${\displaystyle }$P_n(z)+B(z)P_{n-1}(z)+A(z)P_{n-k}(z)=0 ${\displaystyle }$ with the standard initial conditions $P_0(z)=1$, $P_{-1}(z)=dots=P_{-k+1}(z)=0$ which is not a zero of $A(z)$ lies on the real (semi)-algebraic curve $mathcalCsubsetmathbbC$ given by ${\displaystyle }$Im left(frac{B^k(z)}{A(z)} ight)=0quad { m and}quad 0le (-1)^kRe left(frac{B^k(z)}{A(z)} ight)le frac{k^k}{(k-1)^{k-1}}.${\displaystyle }$ In this short note, we show that for the recurrence relation (generalizing the latter recurrence of Tran) given by ${\displaystyle }$P_n(z)+B(z)P_{n-ell}(z)+A(z)P_{n-k}(z)=0, ${\displaystyle }$ with coprime $k$ and $ell$ and the same standard initial conditions as above, every root of $P_n(z)$ which is not a zero of $A(z)B(z)$ belongs to the real algebraic curve $mathcal{C}_{ell,k}$ given by ${\displaystyle }$Im left(frac{B^k(z)}{A^ell(z)} ight)=0.${\displaystyle }$
