JOINT PROXY STATEMENT
August 30, 1995
GENERAL INFORMATION
This Joint Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation
by the Board of Directors or Board of Trustees, as the case may be, (each a
"Board" and each director or trustee a "Board Member") of each of Nuveen
Arizona Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc. ("Arizona Premium"), Nuveen
Michigan Quality Income Municipal Fund, Inc. ("Michigan Quality"), Nuveen
Michigan Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc. ("Michigan Premium"), Nuveen Ohio
Quality Income Municipal Fund, Inc. ("Ohio Quality") and Nuveen Texas Quality
Income Municipal Fund ("Texas Quality") (individually, a "Fund" and,
collectively, the "Funds"), of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting of
Shareholders of each Fund to be held on October 19, 1995 (for each Fund, an
"Annual Meeting" and, collectively, the "Annual Meetings"), and at any and all
adjournments thereof. The cost of preparing, printing and mailing the enclosed
proxy, accompanying notice and proxy statement, and all other costs in
connection with the solicitation of proxies, will be paid by the Funds pro rata
based on the number of shareholder accounts. Additional solicitation may be
made by letter, telephone or telegraph by officers of each Fund, by officers or
employees of John Nuveen & Co. Incorporated or Nuveen Advisory Corp., or by
dealers and their representatives. The Funds have engaged Tritech Services to
assist in the solicitation of proxies at a total estimated cost of $12,500.
EACH FUND WILL FURNISH, WITHOUT CHARGE, A COPY OF ITS JULY 31, 1994 ANNUAL
REPORT AND ITS MORE RECENT SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT UPON REQUEST. SUCH WRITTEN OR
ORAL REQUEST SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO SUCH FUND AT 333 WEST WACKER DRIVE, CHICAGO,
ILLINOIS 60606 OR BY CALLING 1-800-257-8787. THE ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE FISCAL
YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 1995 IS EXPECTED TO BE AVAILABLE ON OR BEFORE SEPTEMBER 29,
1995.
On the matters coming before each Fund's Annual Meeting as to which a choice
has been specified by the shareholders of that Fund on the proxy, the shares of
that Fund will be voted accordingly. If no choice is so specified, the shares
of each Fund will be voted FOR the election of the four Board nominees to be
elected by all shareholders and the two Board nominees to be elected by holders
of shares of Municipal Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred ("MuniPreferred(R)"),
as listed
1
<PAGE>
in this Joint Proxy Statement, and FOR ratification of the selection of Ernst &
Young LLP as each Fund's independent auditors. Shareholders of any Fund who
execute proxies may revoke them at any time before they are voted by filing
with that Fund a written notice of revocation, by delivering a duly executed
proxy bearing a later date, or by attending that Annual Meeting and voting in
person.
The Board of each Fund has determined that the use of this Joint Proxy
Statement for each Fund's Annual Meeting is in the best interest of each Fund
and its shareholders in light of the similar matters being considered and voted
on by the shareholders. Shareholders of each Fund will vote separately on each
proposal relating to their Fund, and a vote on a proposal by the shareholders
of one Fund will not affect the vote on the proposal by the shareholders of
another Fund.
The following table indicates which shareholders are solicited with respect
to each matter:

</TABLE>
A quorum of shareholders is required to take action at each Fund's Annual
Meeting. A majority of the shares entitled to vote at each Annual Meeting,
represented in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum of shareholders at
that Annual Meeting, except that for the election of the two Board Member
nominees to be elected by holders of MuniPreferred, 33 1/3% of the
MuniPreferred shares entitled to vote and represented in person or by proxy
will constitute a quorum. Votes cast by proxy or in person at each Annual
Meeting will be tabulated by the inspectors of election appointed for that
Annual Meeting. The inspectors of election will determine whether or not a
quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. The inspectors of election will treat
abstentions and "broker non-votes" (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees,
typically in "street name," as to which (i) instructions have not been received
from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or
nominee does not have discretionary voting power on a particular matter) as
present for purposes of determining a quorum.
For purposes of determining the approval of the matters submitted for a vote
of the shareholders of each Fund other than Texas Quality, abstentions and
broker non-votes will be treated as shares voted against the election of Board
Members and against ratification of the selection of independent auditors. For
purposes of determining the approval of the matters submitted for a vote of the
shareholders
2
<PAGE>
of Texas Quality, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the
election of Board Members (the six nominees receiving the largest number of
votes will be elected) and will be treated as shares voted against ratification
of the selection of independent auditors. The details of each proposal to be
voted on by the shareholders of each Fund and the vote required for approval of
each proposal are set forth under the description of each proposal below.
As of August 21, 1995, there were issued and outstanding: 4,280,555 common
shares and 1,200 shares of MuniPreferred, Series TH of Arizona Premium;
11,132,141 common shares and 3,200 shares of MuniPreferred, Series TH of
Michigan Quality; 7,677,686 common shares and 840 shares of MuniPreferred,
Series M and 1,400 shares of MuniPreferred, Series TH of Michigan Premium;
9,217,250 common shares and 680 shares of MuniPreferred, Series M and 1,400
shares of MuniPreferred, Series TH and 1,000 shares of MuniPreferred, Series
TH2 of Ohio Quality; and 9,385,839 common shares and 760 shares of
MuniPreferred, Series M and 2,000 shares of MuniPreferred, Series TH of Texas
Quality. Those persons who were shareholders of record at the close of business
on August 21, 1995 will be entitled to one vote for each share held.
This Joint Proxy Statement is first being mailed to shareholders of the Funds
on or about August 30, 1995.
1. ELECTION OF BOARD MEMBERS OF EACH FUND
At each Fund's Annual Meeting, six (6) Board Members are to be elected to
serve until the next Annual Meeting and until their successors shall have been
duly elected and qualified. Under the terms of each Fund's organizational
documents, under normal circumstances holders of MuniPreferred are entitled to
elect two (2) Board Members, and the remaining Board Members are to be elected
by holders of common shares and MuniPreferred, voting together as a single
class. The members of the Board and the nominees for election to the Board are
the same for each Fund. Table I below shows the nominated Board Members of each
Fund to be elected by holders of common shares and MuniPreferred, voting
together as a single class. Table II below shows the nominated Board Members of
each Fund to be elected by holders of MuniPreferred only. The affirmative vote
of a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting
of each Fund (except Texas Quality) will be required to elect the Board Members
of that Fund. For Texas Quality, the affirmative vote of a plurality of the
shares present and entitled to vote at that Fund's Annual Meeting will be
required to elect the Board Members of that Fund.
It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote the
shares represented thereby for the election of the nominees listed below unless
the proxy is marked otherwise. Each of the nominees has agreed to serve as a
Board Member of each Fund if elected; however, should any nominee become unable
or unwilling to accept nomination or election, the proxies for each Fund will
be voted for one or more substitute nominees designated by that Fund's present
Board.

<PAGE>
Tables I and II below show each nominee's age, principal occupations and
other business affiliations, the year in which each nominee was first elected
or appointed a Board Member of each Fund and the number of common shares of the
Funds and of all Nuveen funds (excluding money market funds) that each nominee
beneficially owned as of July 31, 1995. All of the nominees were last elected
to each Board at the 1994 annual meeting of shareholders.
The Board Members mourn the recent passing of John E. O'Toole, a Board Member
since each Fund's organization. There is currently a vacancy on the Board of
each Fund. The Funds' nominating committees are considering candidates for the
vacancy, and will report to the full Board later this year.

(*) "Interested person" as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, by reason of being an officer or director of the Funds' investment
adviser, Nuveen Advisory Corp.
(1) The Board Members are directors or trustees, as the case may be, of 21
Nuveen open-end funds and 55 Nuveen closed-end funds.
(2) No nominee beneficially owned on July 31, 1995, any common shares or
MuniPreferred of the Funds.
(3) The number shown reflects the aggregate number of common shares
beneficially owned by the nominee in all of the funds managed by Nuveen
Advisory Corp. and referred to in note (1) above (excluding money market
funds).
The Board Members affiliated with John Nuveen & Co. Incorporated ("Nuveen")
or Nuveen Advisory Corp. (the "Adviser") serve without any compensation from
the Funds. Board Members who are not affiliated with Nuveen or the Adviser
receive a $45,000 annual retainer for serving as a director or trustee, as the
case may be, of all funds sponsored by Nuveen and managed by the Adviser and a
$1,000 fee per day plus expenses for attendance at all meetings held on a day
on which a regularly scheduled Board meeting is held, a $1,000 fee per day plus
expenses for attendance in person or a $500 fee per day plus expenses for
attendance by telephone at a meeting held on a day on which no regular Board
meeting is held, and a $250 fee per day plus expenses for attendance in person
or by telephone at a meeting of the executive committee. The annual retainer,
fees and expenses are allocated among the funds managed by the Adviser on the
basis of relative net asset sizes. Each Fund has adopted a Directors' Deferred
Compensation Plan pursuant to which a Board Member of that Fund may elect
5
<PAGE>
to have all or a portion of the Board Member's fee deferred. Board Members may
defer fees for any calendar year by the execution of a Participation Agreement
prior to the beginning of the calendar year during which the Board Member
wishes to begin deferral.
The tables below show, for each Board Member who is not affiliated with
Nuveen or the Adviser, the aggregate compensation paid by each Fund for its
fiscal year ended July 31, 1995 and the total compensation that Nuveen funds
accrued for each Board Member during the calendar year 1994, including any
interest accrued for Board Members on deferred compensation. The rate of
earnings on deferred compensation is equivalent to the average net earnings
rate, computed on a quarterly basis, on the shares of such Nuveen fund.

Each Fund's Board has an audit committee composed of Lawrence H. Brown, Anne
E. Impellizzeri, Margaret K. Rosenheim and Peter R. Sawers, Board Members who
are not "interested persons." The audit committee reviews the work and any
recommendations of the Fund's independent auditors. Based on such review, it is
authorized to make recommendations to the Board. The respective audit
committees of the Funds held two meetings during the fiscal year ended July 31,
1995.

Fund is committed to a nominating committee composed of the Board Members who
are not "interested persons" of that Fund. It identifies and
6
<PAGE>
recommends individuals to be nominated for election as non-interested Board
Members. The respective nominating committees of the Funds held one meeting
during the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995. No policy or procedure has been
established as to the recommendation of Board Member nominees by shareholders.
Each Fund's Board held five meetings during the fiscal year ended July 31,
1995. During the last fiscal year, each Board Member attended 75% or more of
each Fund's Board meetings and the committee meetings (if a member thereof),

meetings held solely to declare dividends. His attendance at executive
committee meetings that he was scheduled to attend was less than 75%.

On July 31, 1995, Board Members and executive officers of the Funds as a
group did not beneficially own any common shares or MuniPreferred of any Fund.
On July 31, 1995, Board Members and executive officers of the Funds as a group
beneficially owned 203,639 common shares of all funds managed by the Adviser
(excluding money market funds). As of July 31, 1995, no person is known to the
Funds to have owned beneficially more than five percent of the common shares or
MuniPreferred of any Fund.
Section 30(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940
Act"), and Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
require each Fund's officers and Board Members, investment adviser, affiliated
persons of the investment adviser and persons who own more than ten percent of
a registered class of the Funds' equity securities to file forms reporting
their affiliation with that Fund and reports of ownership and changes in
ownership of that Fund's shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") and the New York Stock Exchange. These persons and entities are
required by SEC regulation to furnish the Funds with copies of all Section
16(a) forms they file. Based on a review of these forms furnished to each Fund,
each Fund believes that during the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995, all Section
16(a) filing requirements applicable to that Fund's officers and Board Members,
investment adviser and affiliated persons of the investment adviser were
complied with.

2. SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The members of each Fund's Board who are not "interested persons" of that
Fund have unanimously selected Ernst & Young LLP, independent public
accountants, as independent auditors, to audit the books and records of that
Fund for the fiscal year ending July 31, 1996. Ernst & Young LLP has served
each Fund in this capacity since that Fund was organized and has no direct or
indirect financial interest in that Fund except as independent auditors. The
selection of Ernst & Young LLP as independent auditors of each Fund is being
submitted to the shareholders for ratification, which requires the affirmative
vote of a majority of the shares of each Fund present and entitled to vote on
the matter. A representative of Ernst & Young LLP is expected to be present at
the Annual Meetings and will be available to respond to any appropriate
questions raised at the Annual Meetings and to make a statement if he or she
wishes. EACH FUND'S BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE
RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS' INVESTMENT ADVISER
The Adviser, located at 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois, serves as
investment adviser and manager for each Fund. The Adviser is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Nuveen, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606. Nuveen is
a subsidiary of The John Nuveen Company which in turn is approximately 75%
owned by The St. Paul Companies, Inc. ("St. Paul"). St. Paul is located at 385
Washington Street, St. Paul, Minnesota 55102, and is principally engaged in
providing property-liability insurance through subsidiaries. Nuveen acted as
co-managing underwriter for Arizona Premium, in its initial public offering of

GENERAL
Management does not intend to present and does not have reason to believe
that others will present any other items of business at any Fund's Annual
Meeting. However, if other matters are properly presented to the Annual Meeting
for a vote, the proxies will be voted upon such matters in accordance with the
judgment of the persons acting under the proxies.
A list of shareholders entitled to be present and to vote at each Fund's
Annual Meeting will be available at the offices of the Funds, 333 West Wacker
Drive, Chicago, Illinois, for inspection by any shareholder during regular
business hours for ten days prior to the date of that Annual Meeting.
Failure of a quorum to be present at any Annual Meeting will necessitate
adjournment and will subject that Fund to additional expense. The persons named
in the enclosed proxy may also move for an adjournment of any Annual Meeting to
permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to any of the proposals if
they determine that adjournment and further solicitation is reasonable and in
the best interests of the shareholders. Under each Fund's By-Laws, an
adjournment of a meeting requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the
shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting.
IF YOU CANNOT BE PRESENT IN PERSON, YOU ARE REQUESTED TO FILL IN, SIGN AND
RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY PROMPTLY. NO POSTAGE IS REQUIRED IF MAILED IN THE
UNITED STATES.
