How to get an International Driving Permit/License here?

So I will be taking a trip to the US. My license is expired. I’m going to dallas and my expired one is from florida and I believe you need proof of residency to get a new one. So my only option is to get one here? All i can find is from AIT about having an international license and using it in Taiwan. Not how to obtain one to go to other countries.
